Sunday October 27th, 2019. Afternoon at Roxham Road, USA.

We arrived at 3.20pm on a rainy day.  While we were there 13 people crossed into Canada (6 women, 6 children and one man). The first taxi arrived at 4.30 pm. It brought  a french speaking woman and her baby. She seemed very confident and relaxed and took a hat for the baby.
 
The 2nd taxi showed up about 10 minutes later bringing 3 Nigerians: two women and an adolescent who had difficulty walking. They didn't take anything. The women seemed very stressed. 
 
The 3rd taxi came shortly after with a Haitian family:  man, woman, and baby. The woman took a scarf for herself.  
 
The last taxi came with a Colombian mother and 3 children:  two adolescent girls and one young boy. They didn't take anything. The taxi also brought a woman from Nigeria.
 
The RCMP  officer was very friendly. When the last taxi showed up another officer took over,  but he too was friendly.
