[Zuben Elgenubi]

My father (may he rest in peace) took me there as a kid. We used to fish quite a bit in Ontario and Quebec Provences but sometimes Dad just got moving and decided to visit far-away places. He once grew a beard and it was deep red so perhaps the Viking in him took over every now and then. He sure was great to be around.

I think L’Anse Meadows is now a World Heritage Site.

Was your father named Eric?

Leif Erikson

“Hello, I am Lief Erikson and this is my saga. Our saga begins in a little village on Iceland where I was born in 970 AD. My father is Erick the Red and he is a Viking.”

“In the year 1,000 AD, I set of on a journey to find a new world and I left with two tow boats filled with timber. Two years later after traveling around the world I saw land and I called this land Newfoundland.

Two years after my discovery I returned to Greenland where I told everybody about my voyages and they awarded me gold and other riches.

After two years after my journey to find new land in the year 1008 AD my father Erick the Red died of starvation.”

So much for Viking Legends.
