Aug 3-home at last....

Up early again, Saturday morning, glad it is the weekend so the traffic is a bit lighter going through Montreal.  The broken window latch caused a few stops on the side of the road to figure out how to keep the window from tearing off the frame as it flapped in the wind going down the highway.  Pretty scary for awhile.  I ended up wrapping a mound of duct tape around the latch to hold it in place.  So glad we had made a tool box for the trip, used a few tools during the month.  We stopped in Cornwall for breakfast and a trip to the RV store fixed the window easily enough, Rob had it done in 10 minutes.  Rob drove awhile today, I am so tired, and when he got tired, I took over again after a quick snooze.  We were home by 4 pm, so relieved, until we discovered our well pump had died while we were away, and so we had no water in the house.  So....we had to unpack the urgent stuff, then repacked some towels and such and all the dirty dishes from the trailer and off to Pickering to Grandma's house to get cleaned up.  Finally home and in bed by 10 pm, and waiting for the well guys to come in the morning.  (570 kms) 

Back home, watching the well guys pulling up the broken pump!

 Generally, it was an amazing trip.  We traveled a total of 10,044 kms. If I had to redo this summer, I would do the trip again, no doubt, but would have made a few adjustments.  Anyone who gets the opportunity to go east, take it, it is beautiful just about everywhere we went.  If we get a chance to go again, I will return to Gros Morne for another long visit, and stay at Terra Nova too, and spend less time in between now that we have seen a fair bit of the Rock.  The trip to L'Anse aux Meadows was so amazing I'm glad we did it, for not only the history, but the icebergs and whales were amazing there.  We would stay longer and do a boat tour next time.  Hope you enjoyed the blog!
