Day 3 CANADA!!

Yup we made it!! And now our young puppy is a multi country traveler!!

We did have a bit of a rough morning. Biffy was unable to get a decent cup of coffee and had to suffer with hotel sludge that passed, well sort of passed, as coffee. And when Biff doesn’t have good coffee you know that is a precursor to more bad things……

The girls knew there would be tons of traffic going into Seattle so they waited until 9:30am to start their daily adventure. And oh boy did thye have an adventure. Their first stop was to be at the Harley Dealership which was all of nine miles from their hotel. But the girls nearly didn’t make it those nine miles. Once they got off the freeway there was a bit of confusion of how to get to the Dealership and as the girls were trying to figure that out , Sheri was narrowly cut off by a blue car which forcing her to make a very sudden and unexpected stop in the middle of the road. Biff who was following close behind had no time to do a quick stop and little road to maneuver around Sheri. Biff had to use her best “lean and weave” skills and speed up to narrowly……..and that means maybe with a whole quarter inch of clearance…..past Sheri and her bike. Biffy’s front peg did clip Sheri’s saddle bag and it left a starch and took off a chunk of paint but the most important thing is both girls and Roadie are all ok. While the girls are mighty close, they have decided never, ever again should their bikes be so close…never ever….Whew…what a way to start a morning.

After their visit to the boring Harley Dealership…that they risked their lives to stop at, the girls got back on the freeway. They tried to avoid the worst traffic but they did hit lots of it in Seattle. So, it turned out to be a mighty tough ride through the Emerald City and that just wasn’t a lot of fun..especially after the near miss experience.

Once they got past Seattle, it was time to change the karma of the day and go in search of their first road side oddity. Now, the experience of finding these oddities can sometimes be challenging. And the girls went looking and looking for this one. To re-assess their search they pulled off into a parking lot, madly used the GPS and their droids to see if they could locate a very interesting roadside oddity. Hmmmm where could it be, hmmm. The girls spent at least fifteen minutes trying to figure out where they were and how to get to the oddity. They were about to give up when they got back on the bikes, headed out the drive….and OH LOOK….right across the street was the next road side oddity!!! LOL. Gotta love it when life is so complicated.

And this was an oddity not to be missed. It was a real live space ship complete with a blue transporter beam!! Cool!! And it was right in the middle of a park. Of course, at the park Roadie got a The girls wonder if parents threaten to have their children transported to an alien planet if they are bad!!

Next the girls were off to their next oddity in Everett Washington. The down town was charming with hip and trendy architecture, lush green landscaping and beautiful hanging pots of colorful flowers. Then there it was ..atop a small shop he stood with all his glory….it was MUFFLER MAN!! And he is a stunning representative of manhood if there ever was one. Notice his hands, one palm up and one palm down…..he is missing his all important muffler!!!

Next, the girls, were off for Canada. It was an easy ride as they cruised the freeway. As they came upon the boarder they saw the beautiful Peace Arch and welcome signs to Canada. After that they found their hotel and were dog tired.......
