Canadian homecoming

Grand Forks, British Columbia, Canada

Another beautiful ride in the Rockies. Everything is just so green!

And fantastic twisty roads going up and down and around mountain bends...
there were a few times where my poor bike just couldn't catch up to
Matt's, throttle open and all! Going around a sharp right hand corner
at one point my right foot peg skimmed the ground.. it shook me up a
bit but no damage done.

We crossed back into Canada from the Idaho border. It feels good to be back on Canadian soil.

We immediately stopped at a local cafe in Creston for a good smoothie and
homemade chilli. For some reason, I'm feeling much safer and relaxed
being back in BC.

We checked into this fantastic motel in quaint Grand Forks and then walked next door for a delicious Russian meal. The borscht and perogies were like something i've never tasted before! What a welcome change from Subway lunches and burgers and fries!

523 km to go until home! Can't wait to be riding up to our apartment, I've
imagined this for so long. Last stretch, we'll be sure to make it safe.
