Oh Canada, I Did Not Mean to Almost Enter Thee
Today I almost accidentally went to Canada. Detroit is apparently right on the border of Canada (a fact unbeknownst to me until today), and I took a wrong turn while near downtown and ended up on a one-way street with concrete barriers on the side which leaves the driver no alternative other than to go to the border crossing station. Not having my passport with me, I wasn't sure what would happen. Fortunately, they account for inattentive tourists like me, and when I explained my situation at one of the border gates, they gave me some paperwork to sign and then directed me to a nearby gate where a guard would let me through so I could turn around and go back. Here I am with my paperwork as the irritated guard approaches.

So glad they had an option for unintentional tourists! Have a safe trip home.
