Around Saint Anthony

As we drove to Saint Anthony and L'Anse aux Meadows we noticed fenced off gardens by the side of the highway. They were not near any dwellings -just along the highways. Also there were large stacks of firewood along the highway as well. We asked about this and learned that residents stake out a section along the highway (crown land) and plant and tend a small garden for themselves. There is no permit needed. The wood can be cut and stacked for use during the winter. You need to obtain a permit to chop the wood and costs $20 for 6 full cords. They store it by the highway and bring it in as needed to their houses. The really interesting thing is that no one steals any of their neighbours' produce or wood. That seems to be the culture here. I hope it's true.

We had a wonderful dinner at a restaurant called The Daily Catch. The food was so fresh and flavourful and in the middle of nowhere! The photo above was taken in a different not so good restaurant but we had a good view.
