July 6th: Happy Birthday to my sis, Val. Wishing you many more celebrations!
Before Sparky and I left Woody Point, I finally stopped in at the Galliott Studios on the waterfront. My friends Berardine and Stewart Cochrane had suggested that I visit while in Woody Point, but for some reason I had forgotten that they also serve good coffee and goodies.

| Coffee, goodies, pretty things, and dog friendly! |
I popped in for a latte to go and discovered they are also super dog-friendly. Sparky and I could have hung out there every day on the waterfront, drinking coffee and soaking up the local vibe!
I really need to ask local establishments more often, "Are you doggie-friendly?"
More often than not in Newfoundland, the answer is a resounding, "Yes! We love dogs."

We arrived in Springdale around 1:00 p.m., and were able to check into the Ocean Breezzz Chalet on the waterfront.
Springdale's population is around 3000. It's on the northwestern shore of Hall's Bay, close to Baie Verte Peninsula where the icebergs sail silently past.
Occasionally the bemouths manage to find a route into Halls's Bay, and some have been known to park themselves in front of the cottage where Sparky and I are staying for two nights. One large icy visitor had just moved from in front of the cottage to the other side of the bay. It will hang around in the bay until it melts.
