September

Ah where did the time go. Just yesterday it seems I was still in Alaska cursing the rain and hydroplaning through most of the damn state. That was really exciting except that I had left the attachment for my stove back home and so I got really sad and decided that I was just going to eat pistachios and drink white russians so I did and I was very happy when I woke up. I then went and found Crow in the middle of my second day and he came all the way through Canada with me and is here now in Bellingham where he will take off for Ohio on a greyhound. He hitchhiked from New York to Alaska and was heading back down. The dude has been hitching for 5 years and had some sweet stories to tell.

Through the Canadian border they didn't even search me I was rather mad. They just asked to see my id and birth certificate THATS IT. As mentioned above I was irate and I wanted to tell them to search me but I decided just to call it good. Through Canada which by the way is fucking huge. I had to use the curse word because behemoth just doesn't cut it. It was amazing though to see all of the little towns and here people talking in silly Canadian French and saying all the stereotypical words like about and a all the time.

Next interesting stop was the hot springs (I got the part for my stove this day) at Llyard or something like that. They were sweet I got there around 9pm and it was so nice to just soak in the gross smelling water and listen to these drunk Canadian frat/hockey players go on to each other about how many splashes of water in the face they owed each other.
(Very drunk and slurry)
"No see you splashed me twice so I get to splash you once"
"Nooooo cause you splashed me so we are even"
"We aren't even you splashed me twice"
-splash-
and then it would start again. I laughed very hard till they noticed I was laughing and then I had to move away cause I did not want to get splashed in the face one bit. Then back at the campsite I found this cool group of people who I spent the rest of the night with around their campfire one of their names was Robin and I can't really remember the others names.

Then from there Crow and I took off and drove late into the night when we came upon to Swiss gentlemen who had started a campfire at a rest area. We asked them about this and they said it was the perfect place because since no one else ever made campfires there firewood was in abundance. So I got to talk to them about everything under the sun and I think they will be coming to Alaska in the winter next year in order to get in some good old fashioned skiing.

Then the next day was spent in a mad dash through the first sunny day and warmth in the freezing cold bus which was now a delightful not below freezing late into the night and huge trucks with their bright as the sun brights which they turn off right after they smite your eyes and make you blind. The cool thing is that I found a whole bunch of cool tapes both on the way and before I left so this whole night was spent listening to the New Testament on tape.

Today we finally made it back into America and Washington no less the very best president besides Teddy. So here I am in Bellingham at a Borders Books waiting to call and find out my cousins number to surprise him so I can park in his neighborhood tonight. Cheers I made it through Canada alive.
