Big country. Lots to do and see here. Europe is actually a lot of small

marvelous aren't they?


Have you driven two hours south of San Diego? Or two hours
north of Buffalo?


Two hours north of Toronto you will see lots of cars with US licence plates.
There are probably more US plates there than from other Canadian provinces. The
US/Mexican border crossings in California are the busiest international border
in the world.
