Now in Toronto!

Wednesday, May 25th, 2011

Don’t have any pix to upload yet, but I’ve arrived in Toronto, ON & am unpacking now.

Factoids:

  1. It takes about 10 hrs to drive from NoVA to Toronto in perfect weather & with very little road construction.
  2. CH has an amazing spatial sense & can fit an amazing amount of stuff into a car.
  3. For an aspiring minimalist, I have an amazing amount of STUFF.

OK, off to do more laundry. Did you know that in Toronto, electricity costs less after 7 PM & on wkends? Me neither…

Backyard Chickens

Well, I’m at Sea-Tac airport waiting for the flight to take me to Virginia… It’s been a great visit to the PNW.

I got to visit with family & friends, found a great new home for my Prius, got to see my older son receive his MA, lived in an anarchist intentional community and discovered Ethiopian food- in Spokane of all places. Also alienated the affections of several cats & dogs.

Chickens seemed to be a strange theme on this visit. Two of the homes I stayed at had backyard chickens & I also attended a “chicken talk” in Pt Townsend.

I feel so fortunate to have the sort of friends & family who “get it” & are so welcoming when my travels take me to their area. Thank you all!

Now, it’s off to Virginia  to check in with the farm. It sounds as if there’s been a lot going on out there!

Hasta luego!
