Monday morning and Carol and I bid our friends, Connie and Gary, a fond farewell and head back to the good old USA. Had a 65 minute wait at the border, mostly because of new construction at the border station but not too bad as the Peace Arch and gardens are lovely to look at as you slowly wind your way to the crossing.
Then zooming down I-5, we made a lunch stop in Federal Way, a place where Mike, David and I lived for many years. Further south we made a quick run into Ft Lewis and the Exchange just in case there was something there we could not live without, but alas, came out almost empty handed!! Did get this picture of Mt Rainier from the parking lot of the Exchange. It was very beautiful today. On a clear day this is such a beautiful site, but unfortunately clear days in the Northwest are few and far between.
So, we are back at Carol's home in Portland. We plan to drive to Astoria on Wednesday to visit our friend Pat. She was not able to go to Canada with us because of a sick husband so we will visit with here. I will be leaving Portland on Thursday to head to Eastern Oregon to visit with my brother Jim and his wife Carole. Will also get to meet two great-nephews or is it grand-nephews, Tyler and Jayden. Will be a fun time.
