So I took my chances and crossed the
border twice. OK, so it was into Canada, but regardless, those border patrol agents can be
surly and combative. And those are just the Canadian guards. The US guards take
paranoia and suspicion to pretty high levels. There's a sense of instant antagonism more pronounced than with the police. Good thing I didn't spend 88 dollars (not so) lite for that bottle of
absinthe.
I spent my first two nights in
Buffalo, and the last in Fort Erie, Ontario. Lake Erie was largely frozen, other than the shipping lane. Large chunks of ice were piled onto the shoreline from various thaws and breaks. Ed pointed out the spot where he broke through the week before.
