Dildo, Newfoundland. Canada

A postcard from Dildo, Newfoundland. There really isn't much to see in Dildo. It's a pleasant community on a bay about an hour from St John's. However the town's name has brought it much notoriety. The main attractions are the gift shop and the brewery. We tried to get in there for lunch when we visited but every other tourist in the province must have been in Dildo that day. It's was surprisingly busy. High above the town on private land is this sign that has actually made it's way onto the postmark used at the post office.

Hi there,
I'm a frequent reader of your Blog and also a Cover Collector with a certain interest in polar regions. Maybe you are interested in having a look at my Blog: https://pstcrd.blogspot.com/ Maybe you like to add it into your Blogroll.

Another question is if you get this City of Dildo-Cover by yourself or was it send to you? I would be interested in receiving a similar one.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Kind regards, Jens

I have added a link to your blog.

I sent this postcard to myself when I visited the town a couple of weeks ago. If I were to visit there again I would certainly send you a postcard. But I suspect it will be a long time before I am in that part of the country again.

Regards,
Jeff

Hi Jeff

You've added to my geographic knowledge; never suspected such a place existed.

and thanks a great lot for the amazing St. Pierre cover. Did you get mine from Cape Verde?

Cape Verde? Not yet. But I'll keep looking. Thanks!
