TBT | Visiting a Corner of the Flat Earth

Following yesterday’s Where Am I Wednesday episode that saw me visiting a quarantine facility just outside of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, I thought today’s throwback should focus on a somewhat safer destination I visited in the past.

Although, if the members of the Flat Earth Society are to be believed, perhaps my time at Brimstone Head on Fogo Island in Newfoundland and Labrador wasn’t as safe as I thought given that it’s supposedly one of the four corners of the flat earth.

Granted, this view did come from a decent hike up a hill, so there was a chance of falling from there into the ocean below, but I can’t say that I was worried about leaving the Earth itself.

Instead, I was rather taken by just how beautiful it all was, and quite happy that I convinced my family to do the hike after waiting out a rain shower. In fact, the rain shower most likely played a part in what made the photo so dramatic. That being said, as a rule of thumb, Newfoundland and Labrador generally produces scenery that can be dramatic, whether or not the weather cooperates. Of course, even when it doesn’t, there’s usually always a reason to laugh or smile.

On that note, I’m happy to say that I’ll be heading back home at the end of May for a couple months or more, so I’m sure I’ll have other adventures to blog about while I’m there. For now, if you’d like to see more from my home province, the video below covers one of the trips I had with my parents during my time back there about two years ago.
