Home(less) alone, part two.
July 30th.When I woke up the next day, I tried to stay inside. I wanted to enjoy inside of somewhere that didn't close or require you to spend money for as long as possible.

DaveandkaraUStour2011: Days forty-four, forty-five, and forty-six.

We probably would have slept even later had we not ( Read more... ) -
DaveandkaraUStour2011: Day twenty-two.
We woke up around 10:30 and within fifteen minutes of being awake heard someone yell at us, "GET A JOB!" all the way from the passenger seat of their city worker truck all the way up on the highway ( Read more... )
