21 August
We left Bauline East and headed to Argentia. Argentia is where we'll take the Ferry back to North Sydney Nova Scotia. The Ferry is an overnight and takes 14 hours. There will be no internet so this will have to do until sometime Saturday night. The campground at Argentia is at an old US Navy base that closed in the 70s. The view was nice, but it is really windy. Yesterday was cold, 55, but today it's already 66. There was no internet at the campground, right now we're at Philip's Café with coffee and Wifi. We walked the boardwalk at Placentia, which is the town next to Argentia. Argentia is actually the harbor (thanks to the USN) and Placentia is the town where folks live. At the campground we did some walking around, but still haven't found our moose.
I had a conversation with a Newfie, who works at the campground.
Newfie: How's r ya?
Me: Fine sir.
Newfie: Ya likin our area?
Me: Yes sir, but we.
still haven't seen a moose.
Newfie: Why there was one slipped down last night down that way.
Me: Was it hurt?
Newfie: Whatcha mean?
Me: Was it hurt when it slipped down?
Newfie: Don't think so, why'd'ja ask?
Me: Well you said it slipped down.
Newfie: So
Me: How'd you know it slipped down?
Newfie: Why I saw it.
Me: Did it look hurt?
Newfie: No, she was bedded for the night.
Me: Resting from her slip?
Newfie: No, she was bedded for the night.
Me: I don't understand Newfie.
Newfie: Oh, slipped down doesn't mean the cow slipped. It means she's cozied down in a spot for the night. Moose sleep curled up on the ground at night.
Me: Thank goodness the moose wasn't hurt.
Newfie: Hope you find your moose.
Me: Me too.
