Today was the big day! It seemed a bit surreal as I was driving to the grocery store at 7AM to pick up a few last minute things. My mom kindly drove us to pick up the car, and we were on our way. It was an easy drive through NJ, PA and NY, only to met with our first big adventure: getting through customs at Niagara Falls. While the person in the booth checked out our passports, she asked questions like, where we were from, where we were going, where we worked... and how we knew each other, since all of those answers varied a bit. The response? "From church." Apparently that's not a good answered, because we were asked to pull over into customs and have the entire car searched... down to the photos on my camera (I hope the officer enjoyed the few shots of us picking up the car this morning). Amanda actually had to go into customs to surrender the pepper spray her mom sent along... oops. The officers recommended bear spray though, which is legal in Canada, and stronger. Interesting.
We went down to the falls just to get a sneak peak and have dinner. Pretty sweet, can't wait to see them during the day! But we're back at the hostel now, getting ready for bed and enjoying the sweet thunderstorm.

And, to all of my friend people back in Virginia reading this, you will see in photos that our very, very sweet 2008 Chevy Impala has VA license plates!
