Mail Run to St. Pierre

Here is how they get international mail to the tiny French overseas territory of St. Pierre et Miquelon, off the coast of Newfoundland – up and down one side of an Air St. Pierre flight from Halifax, taking up all but the front four rows of an eleven row ATR turboprop. The front galley was jammed full too, leaving room for 21 passengers among 44 seats. Click the photo to enlarge.

The Northern Tip of Newfoundland

We leave you for the weekend at a geographical extremity. This is the Cape Bauld lighthouse on Quirpon Island, about a six kilometer long island off the northern tip if Newfoundland. The view is to the north, across the Belle Isle Strait, and straight across is the southern shore of Labrador, just beyond the iceberg there on the left. Click it to enlarge it.

Enjoy your weekend.
