midwest - transplant

In Canada on the 4th.

Ben breezed through town on Saturday/Sunday, and rather than dropping him off to catch the train in Windsor as I had originally planned, I decided to drive him all the way up to Waterloo and stay overnight. On the way up, we stopped at a McDonald's, obviously operated by hockey fans, and met with a sunny border-crossing. Once there, on our way around campus, we saw a dude covered in tattoos, then ate at a tiny Japanese-Korean place, and stopped at a convenience store run by a middle-eastern man who had never heard the word "utensil" until Ben used it and was so excited he wrote it down to use again.
