Have you runinto any particularly strange or comical experiences while on your epic roadtrip thus far?
mwj - When wewhere in Vancouver B.C. we stayed up all night with some friends and ended upon a beach in the downtown area watching the sun rise and sparkle on the water.This super old Chinese lady somehow crept up on us wearing a red jogging suitand white plastic bags on her feet. She was walking so slow, one foot in frontof the other in the sand, that no one really heard her coming. As she passed nomore than five feet in front of us, everyone took notice and a strange andbeautiful silence fell over us, the beach, and the morning city air. In slowmotion, one foot in front of the other, the old lady performed her patientdance right on past us, the glittering water acting as her silver stagecurtain. Strange, comical, beautiful, like life is. "Good morning"she finally said as she crept toward her day.
