CANADA AND MICHIGAN: A TALE OF EPIC (PT I)



So on Wednesday we left Rochester and headed for Ann Arbor, Michigan via CANADA. I was excited to go through CANADA because I really wanted to go to Detroit and because the only time I had ever spent in CANADA was when my mom, sister and I drove around for 20 minutes and saw some corn.

So we're approaching the CANADIAN border and we see a Tim Hortons, we try to stop in order to satisfy our coffee cravings (sidenote: probz the #1 reason I was ok with moving to Seattle with Charlotte is because she is also a fellow coffee junkie). BUT before we could stop, all of a sudden, it was just, like, NO TURNING BACK YOU NOW HAVE TO GO TO CANADA NO TIM HORTONS FOR YOU. Not really, we just missed the turn for Tim Hortons and then got scared because there was a MASSIVE line of cars trying to get into America and there was no turning back now.

Going through the border was fine, I was worried I was going to have a bout of nervous laughter and then the border cop would have thought we were high and made us take ALL of our shit out of the car but I restrained myself and we passed through safely.

We FINALLY stopped at a Tim Hortons and it was actually pretty good (see vlog).What pisses me off most about Canada is that it just seems to be America on ice. The Tim Hortons we stopped at even took AMERICAN MONEY! They have Staples there and stuff like that. I don't understand why Canada can't have it's own office supply store....called Mountie's Memos maybe, that's just a suggestion. Charlotte explained to me that Canada has our fast food places because fast food is SUCH an American thing, so I get that BUT I still think they should have their own stuff. Such as Tim Hortons, that's totally 100% Canadian.

Canada was actually pretty boring. We went back through the border, thankfully we didn't have to wait hours, it was pretty quick. The guy didn't even ask us about our fruits and vegetables so we got to keep our carrots. YAY
