We start the day with a walk inland to the nearest store. This is just one example of the wonderful hospitality found in the Canadian Maritimes:
As we walked inland we came across this back bay:
It was nearly filled with a mussel aquaculture operation:
After returning from the store we decided that we had to get on top of Gun Hill (also called Rider Hill) which overlooks the village of Trinity. As we walk along the path we see a waterfall across the bay:
The hillside had once been a pasture for free range animals. Here in Newfoundland fences are meant to keep animals out (not in):
Across the bay is Trinity East:
The seasons are short up here but there is new growth everywhere:

Looking inland from Gun Hill:
On Lower Gun Hill, we found some signs with a bit local history:
These images are of the graveyard on Lower Gun Hill. Although it is still an active graveyard, the older parts of it are totally neglected.
These snails seem to thrive in this rather rugged environment:
Back in Trinity:
After two good walks in one day the crew seems happy with life:
