He who would travel happily must travel light

Interesting thought, Antoine de St. Exupery.

Thanks to the shopping, we have another box to carry. That's right, another 20 pound box, plus our packs, plus our backpacks, plus about 3 bags of food (of which we dropped and watched in horror as our apples tumbled out onto the road). The walk to the bus station (bus from San Fran to LA) was an alleged 20 minutes. (Of course) it took us almost an hour. It was devastating. That box. *shakes head*. Shoutout to Dice who carried it for most of the way, because I was too weak. She is a champion, and has the bruises to prove it.

One of our bus companions also had a box. And a matching khaki outfit with black sneakers. In fact, the entirety of his life was in a box, about a third of the size of ours. He was just out of prison. He had his bus ticket, and his box and that was it.


Traveling light indeed. Now we await the 8 hour bus journey down the coast to Los Angeles.
