the northeast kingdom

- and fun with border patrol 

An early morning breakfast in Lyndon, Vermont - part of Vermont's Northeast Kingdom,
before heading up to the Canadian border for Greg's appointment with
U.S. Customs and Border Protection


and while no post about a Vermont diner is complete without a photo of the regulars


ummmm - yeah - stealth photographer I am not

Next stop - Derby Line, Vermont
and while Greg was completing his Global Entry interview,
I wandered around town.


As I was snapping photos and wondering what would happen if I ventured
to the other side of these pots (a photo looking into the U.S. seemed like a neat idea),
 a border patrol agent drove up and parked right next to me.
Well - alrighty, then...


 built to straddle the border (long before all this border security hubbub)
Unfortunately it was closed - I was curious to see whether any 
restrictions existed inside the building.


and then, a couple of blocks down the road,
here is Greg so fascinated with the bonjour! on the welcome sign,
 that he had inadvertently walked into Canada
- which earned us a trip back up the street to the U.S. Border Inspection Station
you know - to check back in to the U.S. (sheesh)

And then we intentionally drove into Canada to begin our
long weekend in Quebec.
