We arrived in Gander for the evening. We are lucky to find a spot for tonight - if it was next weekend we will not likely be so lucky. Gander is celebrating 9/11 ten years later.
Gander airport was built in 1938 in preparation for the war and, at the time, had the world's largest runway. That runway was used to land 38 flights when the US airspace was closed during the 9/11 crisis. Next weekend as they celebrate the 10 year anniversary they will be receiving a piece of steel beam from the former World Trade Center.
Driving today there was a little more traffic, but still not too much. The roads are good - though at the bridges there is usually bumps. We stopped at one information centre today and it was closed for the long weekend (huh!).
