Crossing Borders

Julie and I returned our rental car to the Seattle airport; she headed home while I waited for Kelly to pick me up to continue the adventures. My first day with Kelly was spent driving, but the next day we headed into Glacier National Park.


The famous Going to the Sun Road had just opened for the season that day.
With good reason...

That. Is. Snow. More snow than all I have seen in my entire life added together.

Most of the drive was absolutely gorgeous:


Throw in a sprinkling of wildlife:


When we drove past this guy, all I could say was "Bear bear bear bear!" until Kelly realized I was not having a mental breakdown and turned around. He was so close to the car that we could hear him munching his lunch.

Glacier is known as the International Peace Park because it includes the Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada. Kelly and I both had our passports, so we drove up to visit our northern neighbors.
     For some reason I always get nervous going through customs, even if I'm not doing anything wrong. I constantly feel like I'm giving the wrong answer and acting suspicious - which I probably am, since I'm so anxious. Luckily Kelly was driving; she charmed the figurative pants off the officials, and we were allowed into Canada! With no passport stamp - bummer.
