Here is the daytime view at my new park. Yes, I need to wash my windows. The roads were sandy yesterday! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Walking down Zero Avenue, I was treated to this sight:<\/p>\n

Notice the water of salty persuasion in the background… \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Zero Avenue ends at Peace Arch Park<\/a>, a sort of no man’s land that straddles the 49th parallel, existing between the American and Canadian customs. I don’t know if Americans can do this, but I was able to take a stroll down Zero Avenue in Surrey right into the park without requiring any sort of identification. I was told I could walk to White Rock through the park, but I couldn’t find a legitimate way to get out of there other than the way I came in or actually going through Canadian customs, so I didn’t pursue the issue and will ask for further clarification.<\/p>\n

A not-so-excellent adventure on a US military base in California taught me to be very careful about taking pictures anywhere near US government installations (no, I did NOT try to take pictures of a military base!), so I was very cautious about taking out the camera at the park. I did sneak a couple of pics:<\/p>\n

\"I'm

I’m in the United States!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Otherside

Other side of the monument… and I’m in Canada!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"More

More ocean, a lineup to get into the US, and a glimpse of Peace Arch Park<\/p><\/div>\n

Coming home, I passed a couple out for a stroll:<\/p>\n

\"Mr.

Mr. and Mrs. Mallard out enjoying the weather<\/p><\/div>\n

When I checked the forecast last night, they were calling for rain today and the rest of the week, but it’s been sunny so far. What a reprieve!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
