Recovering from Travels Down South

There's been some time to come down from that USA trip (16,000 km, 28 states, 8 weeks) and as a long-time pro-Canadian, it's difficult NOT to compare certain things on both sides of the 49th, but that's what Canadians do all the time, right?  What I can say is that there's a lot of pretty great stuff "down there".  People were friendly and helpful everywhere we went and I'm looking forward to traveling down there again soon.  Some photographic impressions of this great trip are here....
