Tomorrow: O Canada!

Tomorrow, Lord willing, we will head into Canada. I think we have our phone and data service set up so we can continue to have access, but if we suddenly stop posting, it may be that I didn't have it figured out correctly! We will definitely find WiFi if our data is not working...

Faithful readers may remember that we had planned to drive through Labrador into Quebec and wonder why we aren't doing that. Well, we watched videos from another couple who did it (in reverse) and their flat tires and broken brakes due to the rough roads discouraged us! Their videos on YouTube, "A Guy, A Girl, and a Campervan", are really good though - we enjoyed watching them.
Their first one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJwFwqlz4g0
Funny one about how to keep from bringing mosquitoes into the campervan when they were getting back into it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kN_3T_Nfk0k

Their views of the northern lights almost tempted us to brave the rough roads: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyLk8YfvMGo

We stopped at Irving Oil (a New Brunswick based fuel company) to fill up Miss Doozie with relatively cheap US priced diesel. While we were there, the Irving Oil guy was there filling the storage tanks, and polishing the wheels on his trailer.
He recommended this for cleaning the shiny metal wheels. He said that there were two parts, this is the tougher one for cleaning, and the other is more for shining. He said that the first time is the hardest, but then it isn't too bad as long as you do it every couple of weeks.

We are settled in for the night here at WalMart in Calais, ME. You may be able to see that there are two flags flying over the WalMart - both US and Canada.
Day 2 of 7 day FaceBook challenge: I was challenged by my cousin, Irene, to post a picture of my sweetie and me each day for 7 days, and to challenge another person to do so. Today, I am posting a picture of my sweet Dwayne and me on our wedding day.
