I've never seen dolphins in the wild, but it's on my bucket list. <br /><br />Orcas!Pat O'Dea Rosenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18221195882816387110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2140630815526406811.post-74995392819850578712014-08-07T17:16:46.529-05:002014-08-07T17:16:46.529-05:00Hi, Sheila,

People like me, who want to see water, can get their fill in Newfoundland. I know you'd like it. Warning: food's expensive, probably because so many goods must be shipped to the island. I went a little overboard in the produce section of my local grocery store when I returned. Red peppers 99 cents apiece? What a deal.Pat O'Dea Rosenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18221195882816387110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2140630815526406811.post-42343593716886976272014-08-07T13:30:39.057-05:002014-08-07T13:30:39.057-05:00How wonderful!

And as an added bonus, we got to see an entire school of dolphins (not sure if they're called a school or not since they're not really fish, but mammals), but that was even more breath-taking. Living fairly close to the Pacific Ocean, that is an activity I've participated in on several occasions. And in September I'm going to Alaska on a cruise where I hope to see a lot more whales; hopefully an Orca this time.<br /><br />Love the pictures and am so glad you had such a lovely time.<br /><br />Until next time, take care.<br /><br />Patricia Rickrode<br />w/a Jansen SchmidtPatricia Rickrode w/a Jansen Schmidthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09634429564028179643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2140630815526406811.post-7956416770791711292014-08-07T07:06:15.201-05:002014-08-07T07:06:15.201-05:00I have friends who went to Newfoundland on vacatio...I have friends who went to Newfoundland on vacation, then returned to the prairies and packed up everything they owned so they could move. :) Even though I live in Canada, Pat, I've never travelled to the east coast.
