After taking far too long to upload her Australia photos, I thought I'd make it up to Alana by putting these up before she even returned home! In this article, Alana details her attempt to break into the USA through the use of a bridge. Would she succeed where the Butterys had failed?
The bridge at Niagara falls. Get to America for 50c.
So over I went...
View from the bridge.
Then they told me I couldn't come in cos I wouldn't give them my fingerprints, photo and life story. Or $6. Did manage to get this photo of the inside of the immigration office. Thought they might not like that, but they were too busy running off with my passport, probably to photocopy it without my permission, to notice.
Then they gave me a piece of paper calling me an alien and saying I had been denied entry and sent me back.

When Emma told me her Nan was off to Canada, I told her to tell her Nan to take lots of photos for the site. Obviously, Emma didn't bother telling her Nan, but that didn't stop her from returning with these photos of Rainbow Bridge.
Rainbow Bridge is located at Niagara Falls and links Canada and the US. It is a steel arch bridge streching 289.5 m across the Niagara River. Construction began in May 1940 and was officially opened on 1st November 1941. The Americans are quite strict about letting people who cross the bridge from Canada into their country, as the Butterys found out when they were refused entry (and almost refused entry back into Canada on their way back).
