Yahoo! We Made It.

National Geographics Travelers Magazine has selected Newfoundland's Avalon Penisula as its top rated coastal destination.

The magazine's November issue says the peninsula, the easternmost point in North America, is a "blustery realm" that is home to "brightly painted fishing villages and the lively city of St. John's."

The magazine says visiting the Avalon is "like going back in time — close-knit communities, a strong local culture reflected in music and art, and unspoiled scenery."

Yahoo, this is my neighbourhood where most of my pictures are taken. I've always thought it was a great place and now National Geographic does too. The reason I am so happy is because Newfoundland util recently was always the poorest of the canadian provinces and was often looked down on by the rest of Canada. I probably should have posted this in Nothing to do With Doodles but it is too much work to do this over.

All anyone would have had to do to see the beauty of where you live is to look at the backgrounds of many of the photos you've posted of Quincy! You live in a gorgeous area!
