Ontario and Onward

This border crossing should be the worst yet. The third time crossing into Canada in a little over a week. I expected to be interviewed again this time and probably have our bikes searched. But the officer didn't give us a second look. She asked the usual questions, took our word for it, and let us pass.




Ontario was from what I saw, the most America-like of the provinces. I guess that's because it's nearly surrounded by Michigan and New York. And it must be pretty common for Americans to cut across eastward like we were doing, and the Canadians want it to look nice. The highways here have ramps and many lanes, unlike SOME provinces.


It's tricky what they say about Niagara Falls. Everyone says the Canadian side is better. The American side is Chump Town if you are foolish enough to visit. Well, that seems half true. The Canadian side seemed indeed much larger and more built up. The view was certainly much better as well. But that is because the real falls are on the American Side. Canada wins this one.


In case you weren't sure which side of the border you were on.






Nope, we didn't ride it.




There's an awesome statue of Nikola Tesla there. What a stylish guy.


The best border crossing waiting line so far, and our last. Nice view from the bridge. Better than the mud puddles of Saskatchewan.


You wouldn't believe the lunch I had in Syracuse at Dinosaur Barbecue. This meat loaf was a real melange of meats, and it came with two sides and corn bread. And for seven dollars! Nice.


On the way out of town, the road just ended. They must have let an intern plan this part of the city.




Don't be alarmed! This pic was taken on the grounds of our camp ground in upstate New York. We were going about 15 MPH.


Moving on!
