One last morning in Canada!! We made it to the lovely metropolitan downtown, rode through Stanley Park and to view the Kings Bridge. Then we cruised the gay district/the West End and then out through Granville. It was a lovely, lovely day in Canada and seeing the mountains surrounding the city was fabulous!!!
Then it was one last wave goodbye to our host city and it was off to the boarder. Whew….the boarder, an hour and a half in line….with the sun beating down on our bikes and us in full gear and moving forward inch by inch by inch…..But we chatted with fellow travelers and made the best of it. And the border crossing is very pretty with the Peace Arch, imagine how many people have seen that arch. One area of flowers was laid out in an American flag!
Then it was time to search for an oddity or two!!! We pulled off the hi-way and found the most interesting office building in the entire world. Bet at this office people never get down...and if they do, they just make the crane "pick them up" LOL'....It was made out a construction crane!! Cool!!!! Gosh darn it people are creative!!!
At lunch time and we stopped in a Bellingham WA a town that is famous for their spring tulip festival. We made a quick stop at a HD dealership, then off to downtown for some real coffee and a bit of lunch. Our super star Roadie was the star of the lunch hour. She got lots of attention and lots of treats, then she was getting tired so Biff picked her up and put her in her lap as Biff ate her lunch…Hmmmm… a dog in a lap while eating lunch….Yup in seconds the superstar got and downed half of Biff sandwich….HALF of the sandwich…..Roadie is only an eight pound dog but boy can she eat…and eat fast.
At the next dealership, Miss Roadie got hers…oh yea she did!! She met a HUGE, HUGE seven month old mastiff dog who almost ate Roadie in one bite!!! Now that was Roadies very own roadside oddity!!
The ride through this part of Washington was spectacular!!! It was a warm clear day….highly unusual for Washington. And even more unusual both girls had the privilege of seeing both Mt. Baker and Mt. Rainer. How can you not be amazed at such views!! They were majestic snow covered mountains lummn in the sky……awesome, awesome!! There is no better way to see the country than on the bikes!!
