Petty Harbour is just a short drive from St. John’s. When we started out mid morning, it was cold and raining (socks and sandals kind of weather). I read an article that stated this community goes back to the 1700s and is one of the most photographed village in Newfoundland. We visited a mini aquarium.Continue reading “Petty Harbour and Witless Bay”

A Day in St. John’s
What a busy day we had in St. John’s. Yesterday was our first full day here and it was foggy and pouring rain. Not conducted to sight seeing. Today was cloudy and not too hot, perfect for being out and about. Our first stop was government house. We did not get a tour as ourContinue reading “A Day in St. John’s”
A DIY Holding Tank at el parque
When you have a couple of acres of virgin land that will be used as a camp site, there are a few things that have to be done to make the experience totally enjoyable. Actually it is a ton of work! Two summers ago we built the outhouse, a storage shed, and a wood shed.Continue reading “A DIY Holding Tank at el parque”
A Panamanian land owner.
During our visit here, in 2022, Daryl decided to ‘bite the bullet’ and become a Panamanian land owner. The deal was finalized while we were in Canada during summer 2022. On our first visit to check out this piece of land in early November, the weeds were a good three feet tall. Then it tookContinue reading “A Panamanian land owner.”

Carnival is a blow out party lasting for the full four days before Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. This is the first carnival held in Pedasi since pre Covid, and our first ever. There were parades showcasing the carnival queens held daily at noon…ish and after dark (any time up to midnight orContinue reading “Pedasi Carnival 2023”
Aerial yoga in Pedasi: Flying High
For the past few years I have followed a Pedasi Facebook page. Shortly before we left Calgary there was a post for aerial yoga that looked like something I would try. I replied with ‘interested’, then forgot about it until I got an inquiry back. By this time we were already in Pedasi. As itContinue reading “Aerial yoga in Pedasi: Flying High”
We Need Firewood
We do most of our cooking over an open fire. It is amazing how much wood you can go through in a day. In the mountains the temperature can also cool down considerably as soon as the sun sets. Cooking and warmth… yes, a lot of firewood required. Luckily we have lots of trees. OtherContinue reading “We Need Firewood”
Learning a new skill – DIY coffee table
Sitting around, doing nothing, is really a skill I have not mastered. While Daryl was busy building sheds and such, it was time for me to get a project. I wanted to build a little table that we could use around the fire pit. We already had a few good pallets to be used. ItContinue reading “Learning a new skill – DIY coffee table”
Time to take the trailer to El Parque
As with everything else, there were many rules and regulations around the placement of the trailer: it should not be visible from the road or the sky (alien invasion??). This property is two acres and has a very large open area in the centre and ‘falls off’ towards the back of the property. This madeContinue reading “Time to take the trailer to El Parque”
Building a Fire Pit at El Parque, Alberta
Next on the agenda was clearing a spot and building a fire pit. As with everything else, there are regulations, including size of the clearing around the pit and proximity to water. Daryl ordered a pit and finally it was ready. It was so big it barely fit in the truck. There would be asContinue reading “Building a Fire Pit at El Parque, Alberta”
