This is our last full day on the Island so we decide on a longer hike from Fogo to Deep Harbour. A beautifulul walk with views over the water and of Change Islands. We see fewer people hiking on this trail. A new experience sweeps over us. It will be tough to understand for many readers but we are feeling hot. When the heat wave in the eastern US broiled so many of you we experienced temperatures in the high forties to the mid sixties. We found it cool and comfortable. Once onto the island of Newfoundland temperatures varied from 60 to 70. Again warmer, but still comfortable. Now the temperature climbs to the high 70s and may even hit 80. Hard to believe but we are hot!
After the hike we take in another small Fogo Island museum then back to the campground for showers. Some cards and relaxing finish off the afternoon. A motorcyclist pulls in and sets up his tent nearby us. Wells offers help to move a picnic table closer to his site. Conversation starts with, “so where in New York State is home for you?” Telling him we are about an hour south of Utica he says that he and his partner travel to Utica frequently to see her son, a photographer. Of course Wells knows the photographer. Again and again we find it a small world. Supper consists of cooked snow crab claws now cooled as the appetizer with scallops as the main course. Delicious Newfoundland seafood.
