United States Journal Entries

Willie the Walleye!America was the last country foreign country on our trip, before we returned to Canada for the final stretch towards home.

When we arrived, we weren’t sure we wanted to be there at all. We’d heard terrible things about the attitude of drivers towards cyclists in the United States. We were also bracing for a grilling at customs (having been through Iran, Syria and other unusual places) and we were very torn about the idea of our trip drawing to a close.

We shouldn’t have worried. Everything went smoothly, we were very welcomed by the Americans we met and a few of them even helped us deal with our mixed feelings about coming home.  We also really enjoyed the crazy statues we saw along the way in America. They gave us quite a few fits of giggles!
