Matt and I decided to flee the country for the day and go to Canada. Why? Because we can! So off we went in the afternoon. Matt had heard that Windsor was an OK place to visit, but we heard that they had some really beautiful views of Detroit. We decided to take the vista drive to Canada so we drove over the Ambassador Bridge - one of two options to cross the boarder.
Waiting to cross the boarder.
We heard Windsor had a Caesar's Palace so we checked that out first. Our intention was to do some light gambling and have a snack. Instead we were too lazy to deal with the currency exchange and did the next item on our list - walk the riverfront path. On our way, I saw some beautiful flowers and had to take some pictures.

The riverfront walkway was across the street. We went pretty far down until it started to rain so we headed back to the car. Silly us, we forgot our umbrellas in the car! We did manage to get some beautiful shots, though.
We got hungry by this point and were told we could find a good local place nearby. After cruising the streets we found a Canadian BBQ place and we stopped there.
Nothing like Canadian BBQ, eh? Matt and I shared a Ruben sandwich and a local beer.
We decided since to take the alternate route back to the states which was by way of the tunnel. Unfortunately, a car stalled and we had only one lane so we were stuck down there for almost an hour. But it gave Matt and I some extra together time and I was able to take a shot of us crossing the boarder.
And here we are waiting to get back into the states.
Matt felt that the American guards were much nicer than the Canadian guards (despite their reputation). They were very suspicious as to why we would want to go to Canada for the fun of it. The American guards did a much better job at chit-chatting while asking us to explain every deep, personal secrets of our lives. ;)
