Traipsin' to Trinity

Yesterday provided a full day to explore in and around Twillingate. We walked to the top of some high cliffs, watched a fisherman check his lobster traps, visited two museums, and watched Colombia beat Uruguay while eating dinner in a local family style restaurant. Twillingate claims to be the iceberg capital of Newfoundland, and I have to admit, there were a lot of them. One privately run museum had a full sei whale skeleton along with displays about the old style of family fishing operations. Today we drove to Trinity a few hours down the road. We stopped at the provincial Beothuk Interpretation Centre early on, where tools that were used by First Nations people in the 1600s were found and are now displayed.
