Crossing Over
We took a short trip down south on Saturday.
We got stuck in a long wait at the border, which was a bit startling because I use the least used border crossing – the Aldergrove/Lynden border.
I haven’t used the Peace Arch crossing in years, so I’d gotten used to short waits (ten minutes at most) at the border.
On Saturday we waited for over an hour, it was nice and sunny, but there was no reprieve from the heat out there on the country road.
On a positive note; I had my camera, iPad and phone as distraction so the wait didn’t feel as long, except I really had to pee.
The ride through the farms is so beautiful and peaceful, and the bluest sky… oh my!
I just recently started crossing the border using my Enhanced Driver’s Licence even though I’ve had it for over a year.
It makes crossing the border a snap and I spend less time being interrogated than when I use a passport.
The plan was to make it back home in time for lunch, but that didn’t pan out.
We rushed through the usual locations but barely managed to be back home by dinner time.
Coming back, I shot a video of the farms on the way, I’ve always been fascinated by them.
The music is Mamadou Et Bineta by Meiwey, a beautiful song from his M20 album.
