comments,
- Nearly 500 years before Columbus\ voyage, a Norse explorer landed on the eastern reaches of modern-day Canada.""Today is his day
- A three-mile trail winds through a charming part of this peninsula.""You might want to walk slowly and take in the views of the jagged, majestic coast
- When John Cabot and his crew landed here in 1497, he is alleged to have exclaimed, in his native Italian, “Oh, happy sight!”""An Anglicized version of his words became the name of the spot
- Fishing was the principle industry here for centuries, and though commercial fishing is mainly a thing of the past...""Many residents still catch their dinner
