We have driven 8,380 miles so far, since we left home, and this afternoon we went through customs for the last time. Imagine, northern Montana feels like home!

It feels like home because gasoline is sold by the gallon- only $2.61- yes!! We saw it as high as 1.81/liter in British Columbia. 3.7 liter= 1 gallon. And the Canadian dollar and the US dollar are close enough to equal for that not to be much of a factor. So- 1.81 times 3.7 makes for some mighty expensive gasoline. Although the highest we actually bought was $1.65/liter. Anyway, it makes $2.61/gallon look really good!

It feels like home because distances and speed limits are in miles, not kilometers, although that was no big deal to adjust to.

Food in Canada was expensive- I bought a jar of store brand parmesan cheese for, I think, about $8.00. Used to be that would convert to cheaper in American dollars, but not any more, so 8 dollars really is 8 dollars. I'd better thaw that spaghetti sauce some night soon.
