| 17th August 2009 yermum | Arcata town square - From: ...Hitchhiking to Humboldt County... from Canada... Hey, it was Christmas 1976 when I was loitering around the town square in Arcata when a group of born agains asked me to come to Christmas dinner. I said "oh well" and went with them. Had a Christmas dinner that couldn't be beat in, you guessed it, Mckinnleyville, and they didn't even try to convert me. Not that anyone could do that. How 'bout that eh? The world line goes ever on........ |

Contact somehow to reassure the old bloke. Lots of love Dad |

I've been hard into the bus lately with the back bed, back cupboards and the front sliding and rotating seat coming on a treat. I've also carved a couple of panels to tie in the bedroom and cupboards. Problem is, being back at school now, time is precious and not as much is happening as I wish.

| 23rd June 2009 Lexeh! | HhhHHHhh - From: What goes on tour... keeps going on tour... Aw poor sicky!! I have three words for you! APPLE CIDER VINEGAR!! I'm serious! Have a tablespoon of it every morning, and add a dash of it to the water you are sipping all day. Its AMAZZZZZIIINNNGGGGG! It balances out the whole PH of your body and kills bacteria and is so good. Bonnie has swine flu, and she took ACV and it cleared up! WOOoooOOOoooOOooOOOOooOO! Miss you! Wish you were back here (although its pretty rainy and depressing and hybernation weather at the moment)...LUFFFFF YOUUU! hope you feel better and the tour goes quick! xxxooo |

We've had rain rain rain over the past few days and starting to hang out for school holidays so we can head north for a spell. Take care drivin on the wrong side of the road ( especially when turning corners) , love dad. |
| 19th June 2009 Karl | culture shock - From: America! F**k Yeah! I really do have to say I find it funny when people do come to the U.S. including my inlaws. Most go to these big cities like Milwaukee, Chicago, New York. They form an opinoin on what they see and the people they meet and I also would be in shock ( I hate the big cities ). While you are in the area go to Cedarburg to see an older German town talk to Wendy at the Washington House Inn for some history. Also check out La Crosse on the Mississippi for some of the best views of the bluffs and to meet some of the most freindly helpfull kind people in the state. Let me know if you head over here and I will help you out. Really do your self a favor and go to the rural areas rather than the big cities you will be suprised at what you will find. |
| 18th June 2009 chazlie | good food! thank gawd! - From: America! F**k Yeah! thanks for that struthie!! i looked em up! they sound awesome :) need as much healthiness as i can get to beat this bleedin flu... :S i know everyone in the US isn't a knob... i was just jetlagged and sick and happened to be surrounded by MidWest rock n roll knobs, so i didn't get the best introduction :P cant wait to get to some west coast banjo pickin and mandolin strummin folkies... or whatever other cool gypsies live around there :) hehe... thanks for readin my blog :) talk soon! love C. x ps. I bought an awesome electric uke!!! did you see? it's a washburn and was only $60. not as nice as Lila of course, but good for travelling! :) |
| 17th June 2009 Jaime | wha? - From: Sun is Shinin' ... at 10pm!! what do you mean the US isnt chilled out? huh? we are SO chill! ;) (im kidding of course!) Cant wait to make my way back to OZ where everything is right! |
| 16th June 2009 Struth | weeh-hey! - From: America! F**k Yeah! Whoa! How did you end up in the States? DOn't recall hearing about it before I got the TravelBlog email! Anyway, hope you're enjoying yourself so far! There are actually a lot of nice people around, they're not all horrible movie cliches, and when I was there in '07 we didn't come across a single Bush-ite bigot or the like. A tip which I know you will appreciate: If you're somewhere for a few days and you actually want to get groceries to make yourself some food etc, do your shopping at a place called Whole Foods - it is a chain of stores that are basically supermarket-sized health food shops! They have pretty much everything food-wise that a normal supermarket would have, except it's the organic/biodynamic/comparatively healthy-and-ethical version. Of course, there's all the health-food-shop stuff like psyllium husks and LSA meal etc. and they also have toilet paper and all the other non-food stuff you would need. I absolutely can't wait for Australia to get something similar... Check it out: www.wholefoodsmarket.com - there is a 'store locator' and stuff, so you can see if there's one nearby no matter where you are. Hope that comes in handy for ya! Have a good time! Struth xo |
| 15th June 2009 Dad | Well..there in crazyland! - From: America! F**k Yeah! Great idea getting your blog up and running again, we were all so entertained and informed in your last batch of travels. If you don't get a phone you can still reverse charges, just to know you're livin' ,laughin' etc. Have you got that can of pepper spray yet? No, really , take care . I'll be thinkin' of you Love Dad |

| 4th June 2008 Trevor | sounds cool - From: Beneficio Commune I hope to visit Spain sometime this year . It will probabaly be in the autumn. I live in Ireland at the moment and am looking to buy a classic french camper , rebuild it and use it for long breaks. I was a businessman , but after losing first my business and then my children I have become a bit of a rebel and an ageing hippie . I love the north of Spain , but have not gone down to the south of Spain yet , so am looking forward to meeting lots of Spanish people and may visit this commune. I like Spain , the Spanish people and the Spanish women , especially the hairy Spanish hippie girls who are just great , some of the most beautiful women in the world. |

| 15th July 2007 yermum | books - From: Blogging again!! Hurrah Hurrah! Funny you should call me when I was in THE CAVE. I rode back home through all the well-heeled neighborhoods of peppy grove where they all are blocked in all 4 obstacles and I took the train to Swanborne and found the Alchemist. It is SOOOYooo. Personally I think you should read the Mezzanine or Life the User's Manual by Perec. I mean these guys are seriously here to fold the socks. Aren't we all. It was lovely to hear from u I'm sorry I was so paranoid about answering my phone the night before but we have to watch it when the homeopaths are after us...hey...Luv u mum |
