Polaroids
We crossed into the states today. Pictures will come to the blog as soon as I get around to putting pictures onto my computer, but until then I'll upload to facebook with my phone once in a while. The border was no trouble at all - in fact, it was less trouble than flying on a plane. We simply paddled up across the border, which was marked by a 20 foot clearing cut into the forests stretching as far as the eye could see in both directions. When we pulled on shore, we were called by group to sets of US border guards who looked at our passports, looked up to us, then said "Bye, have fun". We got lunch provided, and leftovers will be supper. Huzza for free food!
Other groups are really taking a shine to us. I think it's a combination between them appreciating all the fun things we bring to the brigade, the fact that we're young people interested in learning the skills, and the fact that I suspect a lot of them have children our age. At any rate, we greatly appreciate all the hospitality people have been showing to us. It makes the trip a lot more manageable, and completely unforgettable. Everyone deserves three cheers.
Now we sit in a laundromat doing laundry and using their wireless. At least there is good company, both here around me and in the world abroad electronically.
Since I've had less access to internet, I'll use up another joke now to wrap things up.
What do you call a bear with no teeth?
A gummy bear. (P.S. no-name gummy bears are alright, but they're a pain if they melt
