The
Ramea Islands are about 11 miles souteast of Burgeo, Newfoundland. We
arrived there during their "Come Home" celebration.

The
"Come Home" parade was the kick-off event for the week.
The
title of this float was, "The Simpsons go Newfie."
We're
not sure what this group represented but their pride is undeniable.
We
heard that around 2,000 people returned to their home town for the 2009
celebration. They came from all over the US and Canada.
Everyone
loves a parade.
There
was a music festival after the parade. Although no one was dancing when
this was taken, the space was later filled up with celebrants of every
age.
