Here I am on the last leg of my journey. This will be my home for the next 2 weeks. My friends call it their "5th wheel" and it sits in their garden at this beautiful location in Hoodsport which is a small community along the Hoodsport Canal. They live high above canal beside a gulf course The nearest big city is Seattle
This is my living/kitchen area. Not that I do any cooking! Remember to view all my travels starting in Australia on 11th February until now simply click on the strange lady in the cork hat on the right hand sidebar. More pictures there! Home on 10th June!
Seems like you have everything you need in that van and its really cosy. Glad you are having a lovely time. You missed some terrible weather here but now you might just be in time for the heatwave that we're experiencing. Who knows what it will be doing in 2 weeks though! Maggie X
I didn't realize you were just up the road from me. What a lovely little set up you have there. I need something like that to live the rest of my life in....since I've been renting a room from my social worker pal who retired last year...figured I'd be heading back to India and I leave the 16th - this time, hopefully, for six months. If you haven't seen "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" yet, you must. It was so great. I love Judi Dench and Maggie Smith and, of course, it was about India, the topic of my blog today.

Looks very cozy to me...enjoy!!!

I'm flying home this weekend Maggie, and I think the good spell of weather is over!
I saw the film and thought of you Carmen. Have a great time in India. I look forward to reading about it.
Thanks Sandi. I have enjoyed it very much. When I get back I'll catch up with all your posts.
