What about Flower's Cove?

So I picked up the newspaper this morning and what should be on page 4 but an article about Newfoundland. The heading? "Neufundland: Kein Platz für blumige Worte" Roughly translated as "No place for flowery words" Hence the nickname "the Rock"


Although it didn't seem to strike anyone else as particularly perculiar, I found it amazing that the regional newspaper of the Ruhr region would choose to do a piece on little ol' Newfoundland considering the hundreds of other spots they could have picked. I like to think it was God giving me a little reminder of my lovely island first thing in the morning. After all Timon's first words when he saw the pictures were "schön!" Smart kid.
