      You guys should really explore the northern Peninsula if you have time. It’s actually such an amazing experience, especially Gros Morne National park. The western Brooke boat tours is also an amazing experience.
      Some oddly named places on the northern peninsula include but aren’t limited too,
      Cow head, dead man’s cove, Nameless cove, savage cove.
      There’s a lot of exploring that can be done on the northern peninsula. I’d recommend L'Anse aux Meadows, it has some really cool Vikings stuff up there.
      I grew up in a small community up there, and believe you me, it’s a lot different then the Avalon peninsula. All the best on your travels!

    I was born and raised in Ontario but my dad is from Newfoundland, and while he was still in Ontario I got to experience some of the culture from him. there was a shop in our local flea market that had souvenirs and snacks from Newfoundland that we were regulars of. Never been their myself but next year I'm planning on going with my friends to experience it and to see my dad again, havent seen him in about 10 years since he moved there. Hell I plan on moving down there when my girlfriend and I can afford it and starting a family.

I grew up there in that very small village and can say 100% the people that live there love it. It's a very tightknit community and everyone helps everyone else out. I grew up skipping rocks off that pier and jigging for fish, catching crabs with my brother on the beach. So many memories.❤ BTW it's pronounced Port da grave by the locals haha.

    I highly recommend having a listen to A Night in Dildo by Arrogant Worms. It's a very catchy song about place names in Newfoundland.

    That isn't blowmedown. That's just the road. My parents live at the base of blowmedown mountains.. blowmedown, which is an area but not a town is between frenchmans cove and york harbour on the west coast of the island.
