We spent the night in Notre Dame Provincial Park off the Trans Canada highway (on our way to St. John's) and spent a really nice morning taking our time - just relaxing with a coffee and breakfast - it was nice.... kind of like when we first started dating.

Charlie HAD to stop in Gander at the Aviation museum - Museum's are sometimes creepy, with those 1930's mannequins that they dress up in WWI and WWII uniforms. Charlie got a postcard with the picture of all the planes that landed on September 11th, 2001 in Gander, Newfoundland when all the flights were grounded. He is now looking for a post-office to mail it immediately - the Tourist Info. office is a little portable on the side of the highway. He is so child-like sometimes, yet all his instincts and decisions have been BANG ON!! ...right on the money. I have never seen anyone with such good luck, or maybe it's not luck - maybe it's just an entitlement attitude - he always operates as if things can't HELP but go his way. I need to start doing more of that.

FYI - We are currently gassing up and it is Charlie's turn to pay so of course, we still had a 1/4 tank left :p

We are finally leaving the boring town of Gander. I miss my mother. Is that strange, or what? Charlie has made up for the gas annoyance by bringing back pop and chocolate to the van for the
rest of our journey. Life is good.

FYI - when we read our email yesterday, Charlie found out that his great-Aunt Sophie has been checked into the hospital for some tests and then they took her to the Grenadier to stay for a while as she cannot walk very well right now. Charlie is visibly worried.
