St John's

We drove from Gander to St John's today. It was very windy and the trailer was a handful. We also had some fog but the temperature is still warm.

We were going to go shopping but forgot that it was Labour Day so it becomes a job for tomorrow.

The roads here are are the best we have seen across Canada. The drivers are the most patient and courteous that we have seen as well - unlike Ontario drivers who are a menace even here.

When you drive the highways in BC you are usually driving in the valleys and there are mountains on both sides (and sometimes a cliff and a river right beside you). Driving across the prairies you can see for miles because it is so flat. It sometimes feels like you could drive off the edge of the earth. Once you get to Ontario and points east it feels like you are driving on top of the world (compared to BC) because there are no mountains. You are driving near the highest elevation around. It is completely different visually when you get to the top a hill and you can see for miles instead of the side of a mountain.
