Ever wonder why Canadians get a bad rep for being overly kind and simple?

Easy .....

These two Crazy Canucks crossed the Mexican/USA border not once, not twice, but a grand total of FIVE times over the course of a few hours.
Cruising down the last stretch of the Mexican highway, lined with chained link fencing and camouflaged snipers in the hills, we were itching to cross. Other than the loss of Dru's gorgeous avocado, the border guards were nothing but friendly.
However, we discovered that we had failed to turn in our traveler's Visa's and our car permit at the tiny little nondescript booth 20 km's back. So we walked back into Mexico got an answer to our questions that we didn't understand and then we strolled back over the line.

Realizing that it was in our best interest to go back and find this unattended booth in hopes to return to Mexico someday in the future, we did. We got X-ray searched by the USA, green light through Mexico, bombed up the highway, did a U-turn over the 4 lanes, handed back our car permit, walked across the highway to pass over our Visa's, and then got back in the Champagne Express and booked it to the border.

With a shorter line up and a decrease in temperature we were more than happy to see 5 border guards laughing as we drove through for the FINAL time. 

We're cruisin' now .......
