Left waterloo around 1pm. Trong and Jenny pictured in previous post drove with me to the peace bridge border crossing at buffalo. I had stuck two canada flag decals on the luggage one on the rear and one on the side textured area. Trong says the side one fell off as soon as we got on the highway, doh. Had lunch, filled up the tank and parted ways. Crossing the border was smooth, only a 3 car wait/5 minutes. Just showed the passport, answered some questions about ATF. Oddly, they didn't even ask me to remove my helmet.
Drove on the i-90 for a little while before deciding that it wasn't very fun. Set GPS to avoid the motorway and recalculate. It took me down highway 20A east, which was a fantastic drive. Lots of curves and hills, especially in warsaw area. Past some a few windfarms, probably past more here then we have in all of Ontario. Overall, a pretty nice day on the road. It got cool around sunset, so I was glad I had layers to put on.
Bedded down an hour west of albany at a small motel. Should hit Boston tomorrow.
Aside: I am baffled without the metric system. I have no sense of how big a gallon is, whether 52 is warm or cool in Fahrenheit or how far is a mile. Apparently my tank takes about 4 gallons from empty. At least the gps can be set to display speed in miles, since my gauge only shows KM.
