Summary
[edit]DescriptionTV-009-0517 (15590082160).jpg |
L'Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland. Here I am, just arrived in L'Anse aux Meadows - the site where, in 1000 AD, Leif Erikson and his hardy band of Vikings settled in a land they called Vinland (Land of Wild Grapes); the first Europeans to set foot in North America. The excavated remains of his settlement are preserved as the L'Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site, which I visited in 2001 and, quite frankly, found a bit boring - there's a modern visitors' centre, a number of depressions in the ground where buildings once stood, and a single dwelling reconstructed using authentic methods, but not much more. So, when planning this trip, I decided to take a different approach. Enter Norstead. Billing itself as "A Viking Port of Trade", you can already probably tell that careful attention to historic authenticity isn't quite as important here as at the National Historic Site. But that's okay with me - this place is a full-fledged living history museum, with tour guides and interpreters in period costume, a whole lot more reconstructed buildings, games and activities, and generally a lot more to keep a person entertained than dry, academic historic artifacts. What you see at Norstead seems to be a somewhat fair (though slightly kitschified) representation of Viking life, if not the life of the Viking settlers of Vinland - and on the whole, I enjoyed it a lot more. Also, Norstead is located about half a mile (0.8km) further north than the National Historic Site. So, the next bunch of photos represents the furthest north I've ever travelled.
En outre, Norstead est situé à environ 800 mètres plus au nord que le Lieu historique national. Donc, le prochain groups de photos représente le plus au nord que j'ai jamais voyagé.
