Day 18

This is being recorded after one ceasar, two 22 oz ales & a 12 y.o. old scotch! Thank you for spell check! Traveled from Grand Falls-Windsor to St. John's. Stopped at the Air museum in Gander NL. Very interesting displays. Enjoyed the displays of the 9-11 landings of the civilian and military aircraft that had to land there. Found the displays of WW2 items especially poignant because of Dad's service there during the war.
