Casey, I know I'll never get to Newfoundland in person but just seeing your pictures has brought so much joy...Your photos are unbelievable.....

Interestingly, those of us who live (or used to live) in the area, the big pond is one thing only. For those on the east coast, the big pond is a much bigger pond!

The day before yesterday the Tour de France went near or through the city of Lourdes in southern France. These pictures of the city are from the train as we went through several years ago. There is a Catholic shrine somewhere in the city that is believed to have healing powers.

A week or so later, as we were flying out of nearby Pau, some people checking-in in front of us had all flown in that morning, had each traveled to Lourdes, filled a large plastic container with the "healing waters" and were flying out the same day. I got the impression that they were on some sort of missionary trip, to bring the waters to others unable to make the trip.

Casey, I really enjoy your pictures. You live in a beautiful country, thanks for sharing with us.
