Back from America

I am back from my weekend trip to Montana... where there is a casino on every corner and a church across the street.

The border last night was horrendous and we were in line for over two hours. However, we entered the line off a ramp and a very nice couple in a silver car let us in and did not make us spend forever on the ramp. We spotted them from afar and postulated that they would be the ones to let us in line. The truck and minivan in front of them were not so nice. We gave the very nice couple in the silver car a bag of Whoppers. Hopefully it made the wait shorter for them somehow, enjoying the malted milk and choclately goodness of the Whoppers.

What did we do in Montana? We ate lots. Jodi's family likes to feed people. We went shopping. Keith and Josh tired of American department stores. I, on the other hand, do not tire too easily of American department stores (except when having rounded the entirety of Dillard?s for the fifth time still having not located our lost companions), they have cooler clothes than ours (or so I am deceived into believing). We went hiking in the mountains (and all picked up a few woodticks). We walked around downtown. We played at a toystore. We got creeped out by the weird stores (whose idea was it to sell Looney Tunes figurines and car racing apparel at the same store???). We went to a bunch of art galleries. We went to Jodi's church. And, we also fulfilled a lifelong dream of mine.

We rode on a carousel. (I couldn't find a specific link so here are a few).

We got back at 3am this morning. We had some good chats on the way back, and Jodi and I also had some very tasty cheeseburgers.

I took lots of pictures.

It was fun.
