We stayed just three nights in the Codroy Valley of Newfoundland at Cape Anguille. The lighthouse sits on the western coast of the Atlantic Ocean. The people of Newfoundland (Newfies) are friendly and curious with travelers.
The only sound is from waves hitting the rocky beach. There are so few people here - no sounds of cars or voices. Occasionally you can hear a farmer working the fields or talking to the cows.
The lighthouse and attached B & B are have been completely renovated with beautiful hardwood floors, comfortable beds, hot shower and tea in the morning. The view from our window is of the Ocean. About the only thing you see is a passing ship or seal sunning itself on a rock.
This is what "peaceful" looks like! 
The rocks are very slippery when wet so I had to be very cautious climbing down to the water.
I left a bit of my heart behind in Newfoundland. The people, the sunsets, the culture was unlike anything I had ever experienced. I don't trust 'first impressions' anymore as after a couple of days I really began to understand this way of life. It's so simple that it left a profound impact.
