We used to cross the border between Quebec and the US to go jump off of a bridge and a set of cliffs over a river on the US side. We would go as a group of five or 10 kids on bmx’s and 10-speed bikes. Border guards never even talk to us. They would just wave us through as we came in. And most of the time they were all smiles.
I was recently talking ro someone about the gokd ole days.
When i was a kid, my friend and i would take a bus from Canada to the US to go hang out at the hockey arena to get autographs on our hockey cards.
We took a bus.
Went through customs. (All we needed back then was a birth certificate.)
Walked through a notoriously bad area to get to the arena.
Hung out for hours.
And returned home safely.
We were 10.
