From Blaine we took a cruise on the shortest ferry in America. The Plover crosses the Semiahmoe bay in Blaine in just 11 minutes. It takes 23 minutes to return but only because it takes a detour to view the seals and birds that live in the area. This ferry only holds 17 passengers and used to be used to ferry workers to the cannery on the other side of the bay back in 1946. Now it's just for us tourist but it's still fun.Saturday, July 12, 2008

We've made it through western Canada and are now back in the US. Today we left Canada and entered Washington. We're staying in Blaine (I've never heard of it either but it's right on the border just south of Vancouver).
