Friday was quite an adventure with a full day of travel and foreign places all the way up in Canada. It was only my second trip to the Great White North — the first being with Flynn and Marty to Toronto — and my first to the western part of the country. This time, however, Yaeka was doing the driving in her reliable car Rupert, a ‘96 Honda Civic:
We managed to get a pretty early start to our day thanks to Yaeka’s suggestion that we both take the day off of work. Due to our early departure there was still a little bit of traffic, but have no fear because we were carpooling!
It took us a bit of time to take advantage of our high occupancy vehicle though because the bitches in the car above wouldn’t let us in get in the carpool lane! Bitch drivers (both men and women) watch out because we’re going to take your picture and post it on the information superhighway!
The whole traffic and bitch ordeal was made a little more relaxing with a little help from our friend the chocolate covered pretzel courtesy of Trader Joe’s. Thanks Joe!
It was really smooth sailing once we got in the carpool lane and got out of the congested Seattle metro area. There was only one concern I had and that was my lack of passport and/or birth certificate.
Luckily, Canada isn’t locked down and the border guard didn’t even ask for our driver’s licenses and I was able to snap this pic of the welcome garden into Surrey, BC.
The roads in Canada weren’t that different from those in America, but I found the lit lane divider/reflectors to be the smartest thing they had up there. You can’t really see them in the image above, but you can see an extra streak of light that wouldn’t normally be there.
Tune in next time details of our adventure in Vancouver!
dude, I look dumb in that picture!
The picture of the pretzles is pretty.
Great pics! Lookin’ forward to what Vancouver looks like.
