All the STUFF!!!!!
Into the car.....
Very rainy and trafficy drive through NJ to Hamburg PA, My first "boondocking" experience at Cabela's sporting goods lot with a few other RV's. This has got to be the world's biggest parking lot. My morning view.
Some ominous messages on the highway.
Onto a cozy bedroom at my Couchsurfing hosts Noel and Laura in Harrisonburg VA, where the Mennonites help and bring refuges. 48 languages are spoken in the public schools. Little hip "dot of blue" in a sea of red as my hosts describe it.
Traditional Guatemalan breakfast at the local collective so DELISH!!!
Currently in Asheville, NC staying in another cozy place with my dear friend Patricia.
Hi Laura!
ReplyDeleteWe miss you! Thanks for all of the great photos. I remember driving past that big Cabela's on the way to the Martin guitar factory in Nazareth, PA where they still make handmade guitars. You can get a nice tour there! It's amazing how fast the Northeastern world of the Suburus, rock music & The New York Times gives way to the Southern world of pickup trucks, country music & fireworks. And I sure remember all of the biscuits and gravy. Luckily you left here thin!
I've been on that tour MANY years ago! That sounds like a lot of fun though to do again, maybe on my return. Keep SINGING through the madness dear Scott!

Hey Mel, is this a new email for you?
DeleteLaura--Wish I could have stowed away with you two, but you and Choochi are my inspiration and so one of these summers I will try to follow in footsteps. Here's an exerpt from Dr. Suess's Oh, the Places You Go which reminds me of you and your trip:
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.
You'll look up and down streets. Look 'em over with care.
About some you will say, "I don't choose to go there."
With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet,
you're too smart to go down any not-so-good street.
And you may not find any
you'll want to go down.
In that case, of course,
you'll head straight out of town.
It's opener there
in the wide open air.
Out there things can happen
and frequently do
to people as brainy
and footsy as you.
And then things start to happen,
don't worry. Don't stew.
Just go right along.
You'll start happening too.
OH!
THE PLACES YOU'LL GO!
You'll be on y our way up!
You'll be seeing great sights!
You'll join the high fliers
who soar to high heights.
You won't lag behind, because you'll have the speed.
You'll pass the whole gang and you'll soon take the lead.
Wherever you fly, you'll be best of the best.
Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.
Thank you Daniela, it's a pleasure to have you with me!! You are living in our hearts and it's nice to think of home as well........xoxo
