Crossing the Border

Entering the U.S.

A pretty fancy welcome sign, eh?

Yesterday my co-worker and I went down to Kent, WA, about 20 miles south of Seattle to pick up my car. Being that it was a Friday, the wait at the border was quite long. We left at 12:30pm and had to get there before they closed at 5pm. Traffic started getting bad around Everett, WA and pretty much all the way into the city and south of it as well. Fortunately we got there in time with 45 minutes to spare.

I feel like I have my freedom back. Try living without a car for six weeks. It sucks. Although health-wise it is better for you and you also end up spending less money. There were many times where I had to buy less because I simply couldn't carry everything back. In the beginning my feet would hurt from all the walking, but now I can walk forever and be fine.

Coming back to Canada took forever even though it was 10pm. We waited at the border crossing for an hour before getting through. But the wait was worth it. I have my car back!
