We are presently making plans to visit again next year, 2010 and will spent a much longer time on the island.. We have never been to St. Anthony - and certainly have your town on our list of places to visit - especially after reviewing your excellent website!.. The Newfoundland websites I have visited are some of the best on the Internet - and your website stands very tall to say the least..
