Well, we've been looking for a little while, and we made a big purchase the other day: we bought a vw westfalia campervan! It's very sweet, and we love it. We plan on taking it on some longer road trips, but also just using it to explore the camping and land and beaches we have right around us in Vancouver. TJ has been a doing some minor work on it, but soon we will be sending her into the garage for some major work so that she will be in excellent condition for travel.
Spring is almost here, although this week's temperatures are supposed to be quite cool. Ahh well, the sun is out today! When TJ was out fixing the lights on the van yesterday, a fellow westy owner drove by and gave him a "right on!" yell out the window, and devil horns....we kind of feel like we've joined a new club. There is actually a sense of community among westy drivers. It feels like it really fits for us. We are pretty excited.
Yesterday we took the van out to Spanish Banks and got some fish and chips and sat in the van to eat, hee hee! While we were out, Ares climbed into the front seat and people/dog watched. Anyway, we may be showing up in your driveway someday, soon. Oh, the possibilities!!
Love it! Great post. What fun! Can't wait to take a ride ...
ReplyDeletethe parallels of our separate lives are totally weird. The day you bought this, Pascal showed me and that same day I had posted a picture of one as my iphone background because all I've been talking about is "living in a van for a few months" and "taking some roadtrips in it".
ReplyDeletewhaaaat...
Weird, indeed! Maybe it's synchronicity (i.e. a sign you guys should buy one too and join the club!) I will take it as a sign we are both on the right path. YES.
