Tales From the Road

I am homeless. I have been for quite some time but this last week, o boy, I'm sure feeling it. So like I said we bought a car, and the car is great, but we haven't slept in a bed. In almost two weeks. Most nights I don't mind. We have a tent, and I love sleeping in that. I have given the tent a name. He is called Ben Jammin. O yea by the way Zoey and I have been traveling for so long now that we have our own silly banter. We fear no one else will understand us when we get home.
Anyway. Right. Back to the tent. I love sleeping in it, but it's hard to pack up every morning and find a new spot every night. For the last few nights we have been sleeping just outside of Dunedin. There is unfortunately not much camping here, so we have been sleeping in the car off the side of a highway. So every night we move everything from the back of the car to the front seats and sleep in the back. The car is smaller than the tent.

It has been much colder than we expected it to be out here. The summer has really gotten a late start. Zoey and I decided to do some shopping at the Salvation Army. We got carried away. All the clothes that day were half off. So I really wanted a sweater to keep warm. I found this amazing zip up woolish sweater thing that goes down to my mid thighs. The cuffs of the sleeves have those thumb holes so your hands stay warm. There are two pockets in the front that zip shut and could hold at least six apples each. This jacket is an awful color green, and is just plain hideous. So warm. So great. The other day I found some black gloves with the finger tips cut off. So my daily uniform for the week has been shorts that I made out of some ladies slacks I found, a beat up, kinda stained tee-shirt someone gave me in Thailand, a red bandanna around my neck, cowboy style, a hoodie, the jacket and the bum gloves. I are homeless.

The homeless life has been quite nice. Having this car has been so fun. We don't have a car back home, so the new found joy of being an owner again is so remarkable. We have been picking up every hitch hiker we come across and packing on the kilometers.

All is well otherwise. Now we need jobs. This country is very expensive.
