Co housing in an RV

Well I dropped off my lovely friends and fellow sojourners--Greg and Christine at the Raleigh/Durham airport this morning for their direct flight back home to Boulder.

During our week long trip from Boulder to Durham, NC we shared conversation, meals, laughter, space, fuel expenses, scenery, naps, stretch breaks, incidents and most of all fun.  Here's a photo of us in front of the Navi parallel parked in front of the Marriott where we stayed for the weekend and where the Co-housing Conference was held.  You should have seen the look on my face when the guy who valet parks for the hotel told me I was going to have to parallel park the 24' behemoth on the street.  I can't even park my 10' Jeep Liberty.  Maybe the better way to say that is, I don't like to parallel park and thus have avoided it most of my life.

Last night we took a long walk back to the hotel after a tapas dinner and found the Museum Hotel.  Interesting since I used to live in the Museum Tower in Houston.  We toured the exhibits and found this curious exhibit.

Chris and I cracked up as Greg interacted w/the exhibit.  Turns out if you lock the door, the view into the bathroom is somehow obscured.    There were two men's rooms and two women's rooms that looked just like this.  They must have hidden camera's watching the faces of visitors trying to figure out if the washrooms or real or just a facade.

Another silly moment involved each of us leading the others in one of our favorite yoga moves at one of the rest stops.  My favorite is shavasana.  Greg and Chris followed along as I demonstrated then we collectively shared other poses.

One morning on a McDonalds coffee run, we saw a sign in a small town advertising the upcoming barbed wire convention.  I didn't know there were enough different varieties of barbed wire to warrant a convention.  Who knew.

This was a photo of a sign we saw during our wait in the long traffic jam trying to get out of Denver the first night.  It's nice to know that Metro Cannabis is civically-minded enough to help with trash clean up along the highways of Colorado.
