So James and I are once again stealing some internet from Starbucks, but this time we are in Tillamook, Oregon. Our expenses for how long we've been gone for, are so far relatively descent. Showers at the campsite yesterday were bloody amazing! (and free too). I think in order to save money in the future we'll just head into a campsite, use their showers and find a spot to spend the night for free in the trustworthy van... as opposed to spending around $20.00 to spend the night there. Oh well, this is a learning experience. The highlight of yesterday (April 11th) was definitely the jam session James and I had on the sand dunes by the beach under the stars, we had a djembe, a ukelele, and our amazing voices. :)
We've had several comments about our VW van, mostly from middle aged men who reminisce about how they used to drive their VW, "back in their day". We are also still rocking our Canada toques (a term most Americans are not familiar with) with pride!
PS. Some pictures are coming soon, we just have to figure out how to upload them to James' computer, unfortunately neither of us are exactly tech literate.
This is a blog about a trip James and myself are doing in a 1973 Volkswagen Camper Van. We are leaving from Vancouver BC, and arriving back in Vancouver BC some-two months later. Where and when we go in between that time are yet to be determined.
do you need a place to stay in Portland? Do you have cellphone for texting?
ReplyDeleteSo how much are you guys spending a day?
ReplyDeleteIt kind of depends how far we go. Some days have been around $80, some days we spend nothing. But its the 23rd right now, we left on the 8th, and are each a little bit over $500. I'm too lazy to do the math haha.
