It was hard to stop taking pictures of the brightly colored houses.
|
The colorful city of St. Pierre stands in stark contrast to drab Fortune, Newfoundland.
|
As expensive as gasoline was in Newfoundland, it's even more expensive on St. Pierre. It was about $5 USD per gallon in St. Pierre, versus $4 USD in Newfoundland.
|
The owner of this house didn't get the memo that the 1970s ended 30 years ago.
|
The road signs are as French as the rest of St. Pierre.

As in Newfoundland, St. Pierre graffiti is mostly political in nature, and is remarkably legible.
|
I kept running into Bellevue-related things. In this case, I guess Bellevue is a French word so St. Pierre has the right to use it casually...

|
I didn't expect to see something so patriotic and American in a French bar.
|
Crazy French payphone! This one was in a red phone booth on the waterfront.

A last look at France from across the ocean.

Little Green Island, between St. Pierre and Fortune. This is Canadian territory, and is home to only a lighthouse and weather station.
|
The town of Clarenville. It's in a beautiful spot just south of Terra Nova National Park, about 2 hours northwest of St. John's.
|
Diversions Cybercafe, one of only two in the province of Newfoundland. The other is in Eastport, and is only open during the summer. It's a very successful business in Clarenville.
|
Aliant is the local phone company in Newfoundland. I think their trucks are a lot more colorful than our local phone companies.
