Gander

---

We left Halifax on Thursday. The day before it was almost 80 degrees. Thursday morning it was 55 degrees and raining. We left around 1:00 pm and flew to Gander, Newfoundland. For those of you who don't remember, Gander was the airport that received 225 planes and 6,000 people after 9-11. They took strangers into their houses, hotels, resturants and schools. We visited the Aviation Museum and went to the Silent Witness Memorial. It is a memorial to honor 225 American soldiers whose plane crashed on takeoff in December 1985. All perished.

Tomorrow, we leave for Deer Lake, which is 185 miles west in Labrador.
