Coming to America
Completely out of sequence. This was taken as our bus crossed the border from Canada to the US, a milestone on the June Tour. We had just stopped at border control, a painless presentation of passports.
Something of a contrast with the re-entry after the Rhine Cruise, which happened during our flight layover in Toronto. Friendly arrangement between the US & Canada to pass security and sit in the US at the lounge and gate while waiting to board. But the security process was back to shoe bomber days. I hope that’s just an expression of caution, not a response to known threats, in these troubled days.
(Yes, the title is an intentional reference to Neil Diamond’s classic song. Who says Americans don’t understand irony, or nuance?)
