It reminds me of a charming story I recently heard about a young girl named Raquel.

Andrea, it really is a beautiful place with interesting place. Knowing how you enjoy imagery, I think you would find it very scenic, from the villages to the array of geological formations. Our trip there ranks among our favourite. The people are incredibly friendly.

If you ever do visit, I would highly recommend a hike at Gross Morne National Park. Also near the park is a gorgeous fjord that you can travel through by boat. It’s just beautiful.
