People we meet along the way make the difference
It’s the people we meet and interact with who make the difference on a Great Escape…like Ed – singer, story-teller from Grand Falls, like Kelly – manager of Canvas Cove Bistor in Twillingate, like Jennifer – owner of the Gailliott Studio in Woody Point (fantastic latte), Gary at the Crow’s Nest, The Sharecroppers,
