I'm a travelin woman...

Its been days since we've uploaded pics and stories and we know you are aching to get the goods...so here goes:

On Wednesday we left Seattle at 10:30am (just 1.5 hours after our planned departure). We drove to Portland where we went to a People's co-op, ate yummy fresh multigrain bread, avocado, cheese and fresh tomatoes (eating in style always), and listened to male folks singers harmonize with banjos & guitars. We slept that night in Oregon wine country with Uncle Kira & woke up early, managing to make a stop at his winery and see the fermentation process!!!

We made it to Eugene for lunch where we had another beautiful gourmet meal on the grass by the river and managed to jump in for a quick dip!


  

We made it to Ashland in good time where we screened at the Mobius. We were inspired (probably by the fact that we knew noone in the area) to get dressed up for funkiness and did a quick foto shoot outside. Yes, the Beat Back Bush women are sizzling hot. Don't forget you heard it here first!!! (Make sure to check out our interview on Jefferson Daily, at Jefferson Public Radio !!!)


  

  

  

The Mobius space was perfect for Beat Back Bush...big open gallery space which we converted into a workout studio!!!


  

  

  

The next morning we woke up early again for a day of beautiful driving and views. We took the long route through the redwoods arriving in Northern California on the beautiful coast. We spent the day driving, talking about life, dreams, and dilemmas, eating (of course), and dancing, yogaing, and singing to the ocean. We were met by the pelicans who decided it was eating time too and flew over and around us. It was truly magical...a moment of blessing.


  

  

  

  




Later that day we stopped for fresh blackberry popsicles (yes, we took a picture of course!), drove through the redwoods, and then slept underneath the stars in the Tubridy Family Tent (thank you Tubridys!)


  

  

  

The driving trip has been reviving, rejuvinating, and radical! We have been overwhelmed by the beauty of the land, so diverse and powerful in its ways: from the looming Redwoods to the crashing ocean to the many rivers we jumped in along the way, we have been blessed constantly. We have been blessed also by the kindness of strangers and friends: being fed and housed all along the way. Thank you to everyone who is supporting us! Returning to humanity has been a little jaunting: we have moved from the silver-bullet-4-bbb-womyn-family to the Bay Area with so many friends surrounding us. It is warming and overwhelming to be back.
