Has anyone got 50 cents?

My sister, Jenny, our two friends, Amy and Kathleen, and I took a road trip this weekend to upstate New York to see the Hill Cumorah Pagent. We decided also to check out Niagra Falls. We rode the Maid of the Mist and got a little wet, but the vantage point from there is amazing!

After the boat ride, we wanted lunch and decided to walk over to the Canadian side becasue it looked cooler (and it was!). We had lunch at the only place that seemed Canadian, Boston Pizza. On our way back, we had to walk through customs. There were little pedestrian gates where you had to pay 50 cents to get through. 50 cents to walk back to America!


Amy joked that if they installed these gates on our southern border, there would be fewer immigration problems!


So we have to go through customs on the American side - show our driver licences and answer a few questions. The agent asked what the purpose of my visit to Canada. I said to have lunch. "Lunch?" he asked. Then he asked if I had come all the way from Virginia to have lunch in Canada.
