    There is a lot of turmoil and tragedy that has happened in the last few days here in Milwaukee.This was so peaceful and uplifting to watch.
    Thank you both so much for being the genuine and beautiful humans that you are.

    That's not just any beautiful park, that's Boston Common! The OLDEST city park in the country, dating all the way back to the 1630s! More specifically 1634, four years after Boston was founded. Having avocado toast in front of the state house is a great way of improving relations between revolutionary Massachusetts and its former master for you, Louis 🤣
    And I love how the last thing that made Raya completely vegan was cheese. Cheese is just too irresistible to let go of, but glad you found a solution. Up until now I had no idea feta was also a Bulgarian thing, but it makes sense considering its location and that Bulgaria once had a lot of Greeks.

    I also went to boarding school in New England on a scholarship. For the most part I enjoyed it - the choral experiences I had were some of my favorite parts of my years there. I loved living with a bunch of friends in the same dorm and feeling a semblance of freedom. Home was a hard place to be so school was a home away from home. I studied abroad for the first time in Japan through the school and I met someone from another boarding school in New England and we were in a relationship for two years (sounds like a fairytale, I know). It wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows though - I was discovering I was 🌈 during my time there and not a lot of people were out.

    Hey Louie, quick tip from a physio for your height comfort. You may want to try using a swivel stool to scoot about easier in the bus. I'm the same height as you and I've got a stool in my van and my neck and back are very thankful :).

    Make sure you go back with your kids! I was able to take my teenage son and husband back to my childhood haunts, the house I grew up in, the library I loved, the convenience store I biked to, my favourite zoo and parks, my mom's grave, the church school I attended. It was truly one of the most special moments of my life getting to share that part of my life with them. I like to imagine my son showing his kids around his childhood home, school, favourite beaches, etc, he's an adult now, but it's been amazing building that foundation of happy memories for him too.

    I watch a few (a lot) of van life and schoolie couples. One thing I am very curious about is the safety of those not in the drivers seat of the school busses. Here Raya is sitting on the sofa, and that is what I generally see with the exception of one couple who put in a van seat with seat belt, right behind the steps. It worries me about what would happen if you ever had to slam on your brakes or you were hit. Every state seems to have different laws regarding this. I know, I'm just a worry wart...but I want people to be safe :)

    But --- since then have been worn out by them.
    But after watching yours! I'll be paying attention to "your" journey!!!
    By the way? For 20 + yrs --- I've called Thailand --- home!!! Working across asia, africa, mid east, europe in human rights.

    If you're willing to come as far south as north Florida, we've been still keeping our windows open and heater mostly off in Gainesville, and I'm certain we could find a place for your bus to park. I'd compare my hometown to Athen, Ga and Asheville, NC (I have a lot of family in NC too) because there's definitely a similar liberal/college town/hippie community in each. But I also think that my city is one of the best in FL (not biased at all) and has the added benefit of being so central that you can get to a bunch of other n fla cities without too long of a drive!
