Ahhhh Plans

What do they say. The best laid plans of mice and men. We made plans to go to India and a major catastrophic event happens to wipe out most of the roads. What is that about. Well….. we think to ourselves. We can help. Help how. Bringing in stuff. But then what. Do we just […]

Let Us Be

The morning sun is streaming into the truck. TJs new friend, Jet, is knocking at the door. I open the door and look out. It is time to get up. Inigo went on a slow meandering walk with a little girl, her dad and her dog. They live in the truck just up from ours […]

Piercing and Pizza

Just been to Freakstock Festival again. We aren’t too sure how many times we have been yet. There is some discrepancy with the family historians. Dad says 7 times. Abi says 9 times. I say ALOT OF TIMES. Back at the Coptic Monastary/military base. Lots of people!!! Lots of really cool trucks and creative people […]

The Insanity of Artists

Hanging out in a castle last nite. A real live castle outside of Dresden. The castle is a collection of about 6 buildings and grounds in a complex in which the other half contains a Denny’s wannabee pub, a suburban like ice cream parlor and farmer’s market shop that makes the perfectly predictable and safe […]

Chemnitz

We have now left Czech Republic and are in Chemnitz, Germany. We have been greeted in, what we have determined to be, classic German hospitality. It is just over the top. We arrive to put our truck in a large shed where Mirko has gathered a team of efficient German welders and mechanics have been […]

Powered by Wings

You know, ever since we went to SLOT Festival in Poland the first time, we just can’t seem to avoid it. We have now been 4 times in a row. We weren’t even planning on going this year until about a week before. We all love it. There are workshops on everything from black-smithing swords […]

Divoka Sarka

Sorry for the silence but we have been camping on some friend’s land in the Divoka Sarka on the outskirts of Prague. It is an old farm that was last used by the Nazi’s. Legend has it that the Communists and the Nazis had a bit of a battle right at the edge of the […]

Inigo, the magnificent

Just thought you might like a photo of how Inigo is doing. He is getting SOOOOO big. He is fitting right into the family. We think he is the perfect dog for us. He frequently gets hiccups. He likes to do a froggy sprawl when he finds cool tile floors, he is truck trained, he […]

Prague: A few of my favourite things

This morning in Prague, Czech Republic, I did a few of my favourite things: 1. I admired the architecture, 2. I got myself a Czech beer and fried cheese sandwich (smazeny syr) from a stall3. I went into my favourite camera shop [FotoSkoda] to get some inspiration. The weird thing is that my friend Derek […]

Fancy Eco-hotel in Prague

We got a tour of a very, very cool new hotel in Prague from the man who dreamed it up. He told us all about how he had the idea 3 years ago and some friends came in to help him fix it up. We have been staying in his hostel “Sir Toby’s” this time. […]
