I've been tagged!

I have been tagged by Linda over at Remote Treechanger. Linda lives in Australia and is a reader here.

This is what I have to do:

1. List (at least) five things to do for free in your city or town, not just well publicized touristy things, but things YOU might do too!

2. Write it with a visitor in mind.

3. Tag three people* - extra fun if they live somewhere you'd like to know better or

4. If you're anonymous/coy about where you live, choose another town or city that you know.

Hmmm...this is a tough one as there are so many things here in NL to see. This list is probably only the tip of the iceberg (pun intended lol). We are still finding our way around here and seem to find new and interesting things almost daily.

That said, I think five choices I would make are:

1) The natural beauty of the area. There is lots of it, everywhere you look and it's free! Take for example the picture at the top of this blog....that is taken from our back yard. These types of scenes are available all throughout Newfoundland. Click on "Newfoundland Scenery" on the right side bar to see more.

2) The Icebergs (click on label "Icebergs" on the right side bar to see some). Nature's travelling art show indeed!

3) The Whales. What a show they put on....swimming and playing the way they do.

4) Cape Spear would be a choice. As the most easterly point in North America, definitely a must see.

5) Gros Morne National Park (Click here to see a slide show of pictures -- there are several to see but take a few seconds to start) . I'm pretty sure there is a charge to enjoy this park but well worth it.

Sooo....who's next?

I'm not going to tag anybody specifically as there are so many areas I'd like to see/learn about.

If you're so inclined to play....I'd love to learn more about your area!
