We tour the Marine Interpretation Centre & Fisherman's Union (which we learn the history of) at Seldom. There's also a preserved company store there. One of the many old calendars I captured. |

Now we're in the town of Fogo, which has a number of folk museums, including
the Bleak House Museum.
Every small town has an old house or two, left to the town as a museum when the last inhabitant dies. They are a treasure trove of local social history, well staffed with volunteers. |

We have now driven across the island (the mainland, that is) to Gros Morne
National Park.
Here we are on a geological hike through the area of the Park that reveals the Earth's Mantle pushing up through the crust. It's filled with natural history and rarish plants. |

With the rain now quite serious, we take refuge to have our picnic in the
Discovery Centre. Here we see our geologist guide turned rug hooking
demonstrator.
