Thilo and Julia had already been travelling for 7 months and now were on an adventure in Canada and US. This was their second time in Canada, but their first time wwoofing in Canada. They had bought a minivan in Vancouver, and were heading for New York, all the while making a film. They helped us and then were heading to Montana, where they would stop to visit a friend and pursue information on First Nations for the film. Then they would head down the west coast, across to NY, sell the minivan and fly back to Europe. They were here before the garden was ready to plant, so of course this meant weeding, raking and spring prep. This included a fair amount of painting, and Julia is very good a detail, lawn mowing and we finally got the inside roof fixtures in the shop painted. As well they house sat for house, which is always great for us. Loren helped them construct and secure a bed platform in the minivan, and I know they are enjoying their camping. We are looking forward to the film from their travels. As Thilo showed us a brief film he did for school and it is very interesting.
Denise,
thanks
for your message! Great to hear you had a busy summer and some people to help
with harvesting the garden.
I am
sending you this message from Philadelphia, PA and after 2 months traveling the
U.S. we are within our final month and still doing well, although we are ready
to give up our live on the road and move back home!;)
It
is a incredible journey, so far without major problems and the car is still
running. We have visited quite a few reservations and there are only a few shot
missing for our film project.
In
Philadelphia we are staying with an aunt of Quincy, our Montana friend, before
we continue our journey to Boston and the East Coast. We will then travel to
Toronto to sell our car (as you were right and it is not possible to sell it in
the States), fortunately we have already received some messages from potential
buyers, and fly to New York August 27th, where we will stay with one of
Quincy's cousins in Downtown Manhattan.
There
have been some pictures attached to my last email, but maybe something went
wrong, so please find them attached.
How
are you doing with your woodlot!
Say
hello to Loren and Roxy!
Best
wishes
Thilo
& Julia
