The first time I came to Canada I forgot my passport. The border security
guard was a bearded old man that did not want to hear my excuses. I had rode on
my bicycle with two of my friends from high school, and I was not about to go
back. I told him quite seriously that if he did not let me in, then I would
consider swimming the Niagra River. He gave me one of those long hard stares,
shook his head and got up out of his chair. I did not know whether I was going
to be arrested or thrown out. He looked at me sternly and said. “I will let you
in, but I can’t guarantee that you will ever get back out.” I remember riding
along the Niagara thinking, I could swim that. Then I saw the falls and changed
my mind.
Fortunately, we did not have this experience at the border but if we did it
would have been worth the risk. We had an excellent first day of our trip. We
arrived by 7 PM. We had food before 8, and were back in our rooms by 9 PM. I
love it when a plan comes together. No worries. We are doing great! Please enjoy
this brief video.
We would love to have students
interact with us on our
BLOG.
