  • Part 26 of our road trip across Northern Quebec and Eastern Canada. After spending the night at the St. John's Walmart, we drove to Cape Spear, the most Easterly point in North America, to enjoy the sun rise. While there, we also checked out the historic lighthouses and World War II gun battery.

    I feel like I was right there with you guys. Your narration pulled me right in. I told you once before, that had you been my teacher, I would have been a much better student. There are kids out there that need a teacher like you. Thanks for the tour :-)

    Can you imagine the harbor at St. Johns as a marshalling point for convoys across the Atlantic and north to Murmansk,,and Archangel, all gone now and U-boat and their packs as well. Thank you for the peaceful harbor view and wonderful trip.

      I can't imagine what it must have been like to live there during those periods. Such a peaceful place with such a turbulent past.

    I only came across your channel about a week ago and I have to say what a fantastic trip so far. While you were in St John did you happen to go to the Moosehead Brewery. That's my favorite beer. In fact I just finished one before I posted this. Thanks again I am thoroughly enjoying this series. This trip is making me want to get my passport so I can visit your beautiful country. I'm your southern neighbor.

    Your voice over and the scenery is simply amazing!! I am currently taking a us history class for school and I have learned so much about Canada from you and Paula. Have you ever considered teaching history? I think you would be an amazing tracher.

    Oh, that sunrise! Also, your narration is fantastic. Do you do any travel writing for online publications? You should send this in as an example.

      We don't do any writing for travel publications, but that's a really interesting idea. I'll have to look into it! Thanks for the suggestion! :)

    You guys definitely live the life you love. Where you guys heading for winter? Is your van AWD? 4x4 winter camping is my favorite. Thanks!!

      +jahkgdm
      The van isn't AWD unfortunately - though we often treat it like it is.. lol
      We're not 100 percent sure about the winter yet, but we're having fun trying to figure it out... ;)

    *I find it odd how you'll go and be sure to pick up a bottle of ginger ale, but episodes back you just left half an exploded tire on the side of the road. What's your reasoning behind this???*

    • @BackToReality
      @BackToReality  Před 7 lety +1

      +itwasabaddream
      Thank you for asking this question, as it gives me an opportunity to clarify. We didn't actually leave any of the tire pieces on the side of the road. We securely strapped all of the bits onto our rear hitch rack, and carted them along with us until we could dispose of them properly at a garage. We care great deeply for our natural environment and would never (knowingly/intentionally) litter in such a way. Thanks for watching, and for your comments! :)

    Oh My, that rings A bell. Not that Sweden (where I come from) was that involved in WW2, but that costal, armored defense. The entire eastern coast of Sweden just to be littered with fortifications like these, to defend against the Russians who live like 1.5 hours flight away from us. It´s all gone, time and technology has made them redudant

    • @JaffaGaffa
      @JaffaGaffa Před 8 lety +2

      Historically, and at present, there is a fear of "The Russian" (historically, we started 8/10 wars with them, ehm.) But, however, most of swedens defense is directed towards the east..Just in case ;) Thanks for all of ur replies!!
