It's time for the mid-summer link up for Rinda's scavenger hunt. I'm nearly finished and you can find my previous posts here, here, and here. Last week, I got one of the three final photos: border. Actually I got a lot of different shots as we waited on the bridge to get into Canada.
Here's the official Boundary Sign about three-quarters of the way across the bridge.
We frequently have a long wait to get back into the states, but this was an unusual sight approaching Canada, espcially on a Thursday morning.
There was a slight drizzle that morning and you can see the raindrops on the window. The U.S. flag was flying at half-staff in honor of the victims in the horrible Aurora shooting.
We got out our passports as we approached the inspection booth. The bright red cover was given to me by a friend for my birthday one year. We travel to Canada together at least twice a year.
And finally, the welcome sign once we were through the inspection station.
We were on our way to Niagara-on-the-Lake for the day. My brother was visiting and had never been there. We knew he'd like the Irish Harp for lunch, and we visited some of our favorite wineries. We both brought back a few bottles of our favorites.
The town itself is charming, and we walked off our lunch with a stroll down the main street.
Two of my favorite guys!
