Yvonne with Commander Gander at the customer appreciation night last night. We are at Country Inn and RV Park in Gander still and departing this morning for St. John's. We seem to have found ourselves in the Point Roberts of Gander. Everyone here is here every weekend all summer. Last night they had a barbeque for customers. We sat down at a table and chatted with the locals. We're not sure what they said, but they were friendly. Hee hee. It's true, you can only understand a couple words here and there and have to listen very intently to get through the Newfie accent. I'm sure we'll get used to it just before it's time to leave. It was a lovely time and the sun blessed us with a bit of warmth.

Later this day. 8:30pm. Finally a fire and marshmallows. It was 72d today and it carried into the evening. Warmth without the wind. We left Gander and got to ST. John's about 2;30. The scenery changed a few times. It is quite glacial here and is like N. Ontario, a lake ever half mile. They call them Ponds here. Some of these ponds are fair large. We are staying in an RV Park just above the city. It ties for the best park we have been in . Pippy Park big private sites and after all the kids go home tomorrow it will also be quiet. Yvonne made some friends and stayed out playing till after 8. We actually had a BBQ and it did not get blown out once . We are off to Cape Spear and Signal hill tomorrow . Yvonne is just about asleep so I am going to make Leslie and I some adult beverages and go sit out by the fire a while longer. Jim
