After loading up on coffee and the world’s best donuts we headed toward the Canadian border. We went through immigration without any trouble, which makes me grateful for having a clean record. There was what could have been a catastrophic mix up, but luckily J glanced inside his passport and as he closed it I noticed the picture inside was a rough biker dude with a handle bar mustache. I said “J! That’s not yours!” We had the passports of the couple that was in line behind us! It was an easy fix though and we were on our way. At first we thought Canada was going to be a big disappointment, but not too long on the road the scenery started changing and we couldn’t take enough pictures to capture it all!

As far as wildlife so far we’ve see chipmunks, a fox, a bald eagle, and geese. Unfortunately despite all the signage for Moose crossings, beware of moose, night danger etc. we still have not had any moose sightings. Darn it. It’s still cool to see the signs for them to remind you they are in the area, along with signs for snow mobiles. We don’t have those back in Texas. There were a few other reminders that we were away from home when saw a trailer that said Mush With Pride and I could hear the sled dogs barking from inside. That was kind of cool. I got a Kit Kat at a gas station and it was in french, it tasted kind of different too. Even though we pretty much drove straight through (aside from sleeping in the car part of the night) it has been a great visit. this morning we went to the beach and relaxed.

It was so peaceful I felt like the Lord was saying “if you are quiet enough you can remember that you still have a heart beat, and if you really listen, you will hear mine.” And as I did, I heard it in the waves crashing on the rocks.

There have been a few little bumps in the road along the way, but all in all it has been a priceless getaway.
