Yanessa and I rose early to pack everything into the car, and then took the time to enjoy coffee with everyone. Matt had spent the night (his clothes were drying after the rain), so he joined us as well.
Sophia took the time to tend to her garden as well. The plants had grown quite a bit from the beginning of the week when Yanessa painted them:
After saying our goodbyes, we set out. The mural had grown some new details as well:
Once in the car, Yanessa set herself up with the camera to take some shots of Montreal that we didn't get on the way in. She also decided that the power line stanchions (or whatever you call them) look like our cat, Griselda, but angry...
She also took advantage of the opportunity to snap a few shots of the curious road signs and traffic signals.
Our next stop was the border crossing station. There were many more cars here at noon on Saturday, July 4, than there had been on Monday, but I guess that makes sense. There was a lot more security for entering the U.S. than exiting, though, which is always curious. The official we spoke to had an interesting accent, and a very even intonation across all of his questions making it difficult to tell if he was suspicious or just being thorough.
After that, it was a much sunnier drive through Vermont and on to the Inn!
Once we got to the Inn, we found ourselves to be very tired. We hung out for a while, and then went downtown to get dinner at Szechuan Taste. Of course, we got fried ice cream (our favorite), which we finally divined is lit using Bacardi 151, but only around the ice cream, not on it. (That was my mistake at home). Here's a video:
After that, we relaxed in the Jacuzzi and then hit the sack!
