border visit 8 may 2022

A very warm and sunny afternoon.  We arrived before 3.30pm and stayed until 5pm.  We spend the waiting time picking up garbage.  

After awhile, a taxi arrived with two people from the Democratic Republic of Congo - a man and woman who are not a couple. They both seem ok and seem to be well informed about what will happen.  The RCMP officer explains the situation and says that if they want to cross "legally'' they can go to Lacolle port of entry.  He says 'it's your choice'.   They cross without incident.

Very soon after that a family from Columbia arrives - mother, father and a boy about 8 years old. They speak only Spanish and we are able to offer a simple greeting.  They seem apprehensive about what will happen.  I doubt they understood what the RCMP officer told them, but they crossed quickly into Canada. 

Both the taxi drivers were very friendly. No one else arrived while we were there. A total of 5 people crossed- 4 adults and one child.
