Breakfast
My uncle and aunt trying to talk me into staying a few more days :) Rene and I have had a fantastic time in Canada but it was time for us to go back home. We really didn't want to leave the comfort and hospitality of my kind relatives. It was great to have reunited, to have met my cousins, and to have spent quality time them.
Unlike the experience we had with Canadian customs when we entered their country, the U.S. border was a much different experience. When we entered Canada, a couple of questions were asked and off we crossed(no standing in line, 2 minutes, tops), entering the U.S. however, long pedestrian line, questions, and a little search through our panniers. I guess that's a good thing, or is it? Anyway, 'just an observation...
We left Surrey at about 8:30 AM, when we decided it was time to stop riding, it was 9pm. 120 miles and 2 flat tires later(just me, 1st flats of the trip), we were exhausted! There were lots of unavoidable, long hills today. We decided that it was getting too dark and dangerous for us to be on the roads so we pulled in to a motel in Marysville in Washington(about an hour's drive from Seattle, probably

My cousin off to work in the big city. 4-5 hours of riding). We wanted so much to make it to Seattle tonight but the ride was just too difficult.
After we settled in our comfortable room, we decided to walk across the street and gamble in the casino, the Tulalip Casino. Rene as usual was the lucky one, winning enough dough to pay for our room! Way to go dude! 😊 Thanks!
Signing off, I'm sooo sleepy and tired...good night y'all, see you next time
