Part 2 of my trip<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name L`Anse Amour has historically nothing to do with the French word for love but with the French word for “the dead”, les morts<\/em>. In L`Anse Amour, archeologists found the oldest documented burial mound on the North American continent. I have always been fascinated by this prehistoric grave which is around 7500 years old. It contained the skeleton of a child, maybe 12 years old. The burial mound is still an enigma for the scientists who cannot explain why a group of prehistoric Indians would build such an elaborate mound for a child, with many artifacts in it. I am totally taken by the mystery surrounding it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The coast of L`Anse Amour is also the burial ground of some ship wrecks. A path along the beach takes you to the sites. The strait between the island of Newfoundland and the coast of Labrador can be stormy and foggy, and dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lighthouse was built to help the ships sail safely along the coast, the second tallest in Canada. I climbed to the top of the tower from where I had a fantastic view. I also enjoyed spending the night in the house of the last lighthouse keeper (everything is automated nowadays) which you see on the right in the picture. It was a wonderful place to stay in! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
