Happy Canada Day! We went through customs today. We were asked a bunch of questions and then told to pull under the canopy for inspection. They did a thorough search of our vehicle and all bags. I think we were searched because of Amber, not because of our answers to their questions . Oh yeah, and Bear Mace is considered a weapon. Thankfully there were no body cavity searches. Whatever, we have nothing to hide, but we did lose a good hour or so. We drove most of our way through Ontario this afternoon. One of the first signs we saw was "All rivers from this point flow north to the Artic". Then we saw a lot of signs with moose on them saying "Night Danger!" and "Moose on the Loose." Shortly after, we saw the biggest bull we have ever seen just grazing on the side of the road. He was magnificent. We also saw a yellow and burgendy Westy passing us the other way. Speaking of Westy, Amber is running beautifully (knock on wood). Apparently US Cellular and Sprint do not work in Canada. Wifi-Yes. For all our friends and family out there, this will be our means of communication for the next week or so.

Love you all!!!
