Day 25 (Sept. 28): Vancouver!!!

We woke up at Moses Lake, WA, and were anxious to get started on the final leg of our journey. We had about 5 hours of driving until we reached the border, so we decided to stop to get some lunch on the way. We randomly chose a small town outside of Seattle to get some chinese food. The town was called North Bend, and we later found out that it was the town featured on Twin Peaks. Go figure! Neither one of us watched the show so we only found out by chance. We ended up skipping Seattle since it was pouring rain outside, and we wanted to cross the border fairly early since we figured we might be held up there awaiting paperwork.

Nos despertamos en Moses Lake (Wasinghton) ansiosos por empezar la última parte de nuestro viaje. El trayecto duraba cinco horas, así que decidimos parar a comer en un pueblo a las afueras de Seattle, North Bend. Pueblo que luego descubrimos había sido el escenario de la serie Twin Peaks, detalle sobre el que no teníamos ni idea porque ninguno de los dos ha visto esa serie. Decidimos no parar en Seattle porque no paraba de llover y no queríamos llegar muy tarde a Vancouver, además sabíamos que íbamos a estar un rato en la aduana por tema de papeles. 


By the time we were near the border, the rain had stopped, but the sun was setting. We had to wait about an hour and a half for our work permits, but everything was accepted and went smoothly, and they welcomed us into Canada! It was nighttime by the time we got out of customs, and we went straight to the guest house.


Cuando estábamos llegando a la frontera paró de llover y se veían unos rayitos de sol, parecía que nos estaban dando la bienvenida...jeje... Estuvimos en la aduana una hora y media más o menos hasta que arreglaron nuestros permisos de trabajo y he dicho bien, NUESTROS!!!! Pensábamos que para el mío íbamos a tener que esperar unos meses, pero no... así que ya puedo volver a la vida laboral, después de dos años sin poder hacerlo la verdad es que apetece; aunque hasta que no tengamos piso no creo que me ponga a buscar seriamente. 

















The room at the guest house was really nice. It had a small kitchenette, and a very large bathroom. Plenty for a month's stay! We unpacked the car and went to sleep early since we were pretty exhausted.

La habitación en la que vamos a pasar los días hasta que encontremos piso es perfecta, tiene una cocina pequeña y un baño enorme. Además tiene una salita común, dos cocinas más grandes, comedor, un porche con un par de mesas y un gimnasio (bueno en realidad son tres máquinas, pero suficiente!).

  1. I'm so scared. They caught up with me. They're everywhere. Everywhere. I shouldn't have run. So stupid. So so stupid. Please, tell my girlfriend and family I love them. I'm so sorry I let you guys down. Don't wait for me. Go all the way to Vancouver. Save yourselves.

    OH GOD THEY'RE HERE!
