Where you can find everything from a fart to a clap of thunder

That's how someone described a general store/bakery to us! (We didn't get a fart, nor a clap of thunder. But we did buy some baked goods there.) In Norris Point, we talked with the first touring cyclist that we have seen so far: a guy who cycled to Newfoundland from Windsor, Ontario. We might just meet up with him again. He was thinking of heading north towards Saint Anthony as we are. What can I tell you about Newfoundland that you haven't heard before? All the stories of the gorgeous scenery and the incredibly generous people are true! Sometimes it takes us off guard how nice the Newfoundlanders are. We stand there blinking in surprise at their kind offers to help us out. I'm writing this from Hawke's Bay, where the clouds are rolling in for the first time since our arrival. We are probably going to park it here for a few days.
