Keith
We think that Canada has many special places and the purpose of this blog is to show case some of the places we have enjoyed. In the past much of our travels are in Newfoundland and the other Atlantic Provinces so many of these posts focus on this geographic area. More recently many posts have been made on places we have visited in Western Canada, particularly B.C. Keith can be reached at: k2nicol@gmail.com. Keith also has a popular you tube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/user/k2nicol
