WE WENT ON A ROAD TRIP — PART 2


This was my favourite part of our trip. The excitement, the car snacks and the range of topography — mountains, dunes (or giant sand mountains), an escarpment, expansive vineyards, cliffs and ocean — It was really hard not to pull over every 5 minutes as a new scenic view appeared behind the twists and bends. The sun was setting just as arrived in San Fran, and the dude on the bridge holding a heart was just too perfect. 

Highlights: The little car that could (but wanted to die), Califia Farms iced almond milk latte/mocha, More Wholefoods donuts, An Australian's 1st drive in 2 years, GPS navigational deceit, the gas station domestic (overheard), so much mist.  






































Here is a little excerpt of our drive. We were listening to Little Comets at the time, so I included the audio but didn't ask their permission. Hope they don't mind! 










Final note: if you get the chance to try this iced coffee (below), DO IT! It's amazing. If only we stocked this in Canada. Sad times.

IN THE LAND OF THE FREE

I've neglected to post any photographic documentation of my trip with Emilia and Mikee to Bonnaroo Music Festival in Tennessee. We journeyed from Canada to Michigan, then through Indiana and Kentucky down to Tennessee. We found fantastic little spots, a fabulous Thai restaurant in Louisville (the hometown of my favourite man Jim James), as well as a sweet coffee shop which sold cute ceramics in Nashville. I only wish we had more time to spend in all these places. Unfortunately doing all the driving tuckered me out and I didn't end up using my cameras much. Regardless, here's a handful of the better shots.
