I'm wildly, insanely, and unbelievably excited to share this photo!
I recently visited the new Breakwater Books Ltd. HQ in downtown St. John's at 263 Duckworth Street.
What a wonderful surprise to see "Ship Moms" in this giant collage poster of Breakwater titles. 🥰

This photo from 2023 was taken at the beloved Ochre Fest in beautiful Ochre Pit Cove – currently on evacuation alert. 😔

Another beautiful day on the East Coast Trail! 🌲 🥾 🌊
The North Head trail can be challenging (so... many... stairs... 😅) but the views are simply unbeatable – the Atlantic Ocean, Signal Hill tower, the Battery, the Narrows, Fort Amherst, Cuckhold's Cove... You get to see it all on this trail!

On cruise ships, a small thing can come in a big package!
Crew cabins are ~120 square feet, with bunk beds, a mini-fridge, a desk, and a TV. The bathroom is tiny and results in having to get creative with positions to shave your legs... 😂😅🤪
What's the tiniest space you've ever stayed in? 🏢 🤏
