I am now in Vancouver, Canada after a short but interesting bus journey through the border crossing! Apparently you are even more scrutinised on way back into the US. Well, I have been in Vancouver for nearly a day so far. It has not stopped raining, and I have witnessed a cardiac arrest in a guy who fell and smashed his head on the floor.
