driving!

View Larger Map


this last week has been a bit of driving. from friends to weddings to archaeology work i've done over 1,400 miles! that is just about half of my african Oddesy! how nuts is that?

did i mention i'm going to houston twice next week?

maybe i'm traveling at this point because i don't know how to do anything else. it does seem weird to be in one place for a while, but at the same time i really want to spend some quality time in austin. hopefully it will mellow out... or not.

with so much traveling around texas this week and the last it seems fitting that today's picture should be my NZ car circa when i was sleeping in it. all that crap! i moved most everything to the front seats when it was sleepy time. wow! look at all that crap i had. when i left NZ i had next to nothing.
things to notice:
the clothes line/curtain line
the crate of returnable beer bottles
that really comfortable brown blanket

i loved sleeping in my car. it was free! so free! and like camping, it sets the tone of when you go to sleep, when you eat, when you do your leisure activities. reading. mostly reading.

a break from jo's visit pictures

to bring you this:

this is in Timaru, a few hours south of Christchurch. i stayed there in my sweet tent on the way to pick up josephine the next day.
