It was finally time to leave Newfoundland. The ferry would sail at 11:45, and we had to be there two hours beforehand, so there was just enough time for a quick visit out to Cape Ray.... Then it was time to board the ferry. This time we were sailing on the 'Blue Puttees', which has much better outside passenger decks, so the kids came along.... "Good-bye Newfoundland!" "I'm really going to miss it...." I don't normally like taking doll photos in public, and had been lucky most of the trip to have been in very isolated places, but a ferry will never be one of them. After taking the photos above, Jan suggested I step back to show the real setting..... Thankfully everyone just ignored us, although one women who was intrigued, did approach us to ask about the dolls and what we were doing.

Oh no, is the journey over? I am crying with Ringo.

Not yet. Once back on the mainland, there's still several days to go before we actually get home. One of my favourite photo locations for Rex and Bianca is still coming, as are several more adventures with the kids.

Dear Martha, I don't know why folks don't leave comments either.

I really do appreciate that you take the time to comment. So few people do. The Weebly stats show that there are over 32,000 hits on my site per week, from over 5,000 individual people. So thousands of lurkers. Yet I can count the number of comments on the fingers of one hand.

It's easy to understand why Ringo is so sad leaving Newfoundland. The scenery is so beautiful. The kids had some great times there, even if Ringo was scared by the lobsters and the horses!

Thanks! This trip the kids didn't get all that much attention. I'd taken dolls to Newfoundland twice before, and was having a hard time coming up with 'new' things for them to be doing.
