CANADA - L’Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site

"At the tip of the Great Northern Peninsula of the island of Newfoundland, the remains of an 11th-century Viking settlement are evidence of the first European presence in North America. The excavated remains of wood-framed peat-turf buildings are similar to those found in Norse Greenland and Iceland." -https://whc.unesco.org



"This is where the Vikings used to come to get fish, many years
before the French and British ever set foot on Canada", shares Julie.
Thank you so much Julie for sending me this postcard!
