My Bicycle Trip Across Canada: Day 67: 9/11 in Gambo


July 3rd: Grand Falls-Windsor, NL to Gambo, NL: 140km

I let Phill sleep in until 9. I broke one of Britt’s angel figurines ?  Whoops

We ate some toast, left, got groceries, then had breakfast at a restaurant. Didn’t leave GFW until noon.

Hot day. Stopped for ice cream at one point, and ate lunch.

Got to Joey’s lookout/view, and some older couple invited us to stay with them. So we stayed with George and Edna, who had taken in six separate people during 9/11 when the planes were forced to land [outside of the U.S.]. Shower, food, stories, beds. So good!

[Edna and George’s story is chronicled in a book. I think it’s this one The Day the World Came to Town]
