back in the States

I am afraid that in order to stay diplomatic I will not say much about our travel in California. When we left Vancouver, we had a very nice weekend with some friends who rented a house in Whidbey in Washington State.
In Oregon, Portland, we were very lucky to meet Greg and Teresa, who organized a show for us, and with whom we stayed a week.
Had a nice Christmas in a campground (after being refused entrance in another campground for living in a converted camper and not a proper one, that’s California for you).
In Sausalito met a really nice couple and spent New-year eve with them, we also managed to pull off a few busking shows.
Finally when we arrived in LA, Theo’s dream came true and we had a wonderful day in Disneyland.
We are now with TapezeHight School north of San Diego and it’s the best thing that happened to us in a while. We are back training and being taught Flying Trapeze. It feels like a safe heaven far from Californian rules and regulation, it is a wonder how a state run by a supposedly artist (actor, however a bad one) can be so hard for artists.
By the way, and really sadly, we are now criminals (even thought I really don’t feel like one) as sleeping in your vehicle in the street of California is considered an act worth of being put in prison.

It is funny that you wrote this because I have lived in California my whole life and only recently realized that it is that way. I guess when you rarely experience anything else you start to feel that the whole country is like it is in California. You might find this funny but one day I was driving home from work in Cambria, CA and I saw your bus parked on the side of the road at what was a local magic shop. At the time I had no intent of doing what I am doing now but I thought how cool your bus was as it was obvious that somebody was living in it.
Here I am probably over 2 years later in the process of converting a double decker bus into an RV to travel the country in it. I doubt we will have the courage to go to all the countries you did but we are thinking of Europe after North America. Anyways, I have enjoyed reading your experiences and wish we could have met you on your way down the California Coast. The Wizard told me to say hi for him. =)
