First Morning

I just arrived in Port Aux Basques, Newfoundland less than 24 hours ago. It's my first morning here and it's low tide.

Having moved around Montreal's Plateau borough a bunch for the past 5 years, the whole neighbourhood became my home. I knew every street and recognized every face. The shop was around the corner, my job was down the street and my friends were a phone call away. Things got really comfortable and I needed a change. I tried going back to school: flop. I tried to find a new job: flop. Yep, moving to the middle of nowhere was the key.

From North Sydney, NS, I boarded Marine Atlantic's MV Blue Puttees vessel that rode atop a big wave for 13 hours to get here. Here are some of my first impressions:
