Boris the Bus had the honor of being the getaway car for our friends Yusuf and Ashley, who got married earlier this year in Monterey. Instead of driving all the way back home that night, we decided to stay at a RV campground nearby. We rolled in, exhausted, at 2 in the morning, with “Just Married” still smeared on our windows.

Our neighbors in the RV next to us were curious about us the next morning, fortunately not so much about how trashy we were having our “honeymoon” in a fairground parking lot, but more so about how we magically appeared overnight.

Waking up at the RV Park

The elderly couple in the RV next door were incredibly sweet. They’ve been traveling around the country in their small RV for years now, and they entertained us for an hour with story after story about their travel adventures.

They even gave us a tour of their small, but efficient RV. It was just a little larger than Boris, and barely fit a small shower. They even found a way to give their dog a bath.

Mike is a happy hippie in his homemade, tie-dye t-shirt (I have to admit, it doesn’t look bad)

It was hot that morning.

Brunch at Katy’s

We headed over to Carmel and had an enormous brunch at Katy’s Place. I had an omelet that was big enough for a family of four.

I liked the tray the bill came on.

Lonnie Campbell

There’s a street performer named Lonnie Campbell in Monterey, who sings with a (shockingly) obedient rabbit on his head.

He’s basically my hero.

Lonnie is also well aware that he has other videos on YouTube.

He has the same kind of floppy-eared rabbit as I do, but much, much, more tolerant.

Heading Home

Bringing the 21st century into a 40-year-old bus. (Thanks to Joby for the free Gorillamobile tripod!)
