The Parsons originally came from Newfoundland, as did the Andersons, my wifes people. So going to Newfoundland was a trip into both of our pasts - a 'Heritige Trip' if you will. I thought it was important for us to go as a family to experience and understand where our roots were grounded.
We had a wonderfult trip, met lots of great people along the way, and were very glad we made the effort. Newfoundland and Newfoundlanders are special.
After hearing the stories for years we are finally able to visit the place. Not sure what we expected but it more than lived up to what we expected. Weird statement I know, but don't know how else to put it.
The audio is the most important part of this video. The Newfoundland people are distinct in many ways and the author trys to speak to that in this piece. Somewhat dark but illuminating at the same time.
All the video and stills were shot by Betty and I. She usually does the camera work (Nikon D70) and I usually do the video (Sony AVCHD 16GB). Audio comes from various CD's accumulated along the way.
All the music, videos, and images here are created and distributed freely. Enjoy and share responsibly.
