Canada...eh?

 

It was nightfall and Eric and I had just crossed the U.S. – Canadian border after some strenuous interrogation (about five questions simply making sure we had no drugs or weapons). It was from that moment on that I added the word “eh” to every other sentence for about two days straight!

We started out our [...]

JULY 13th, 2010

We’ve been trying to leave now for a couple of weeks, but seems we keep hitting obstacle after obstacle. I’m almost in total disbelief to think that we will actually be leaving tomorrow morning.
