On the count of ten, you will be in Europa.

PLEASE NOTE: ALL ITEMS PURCHASED VIA “SHOP” WILL BE SHIPPED UPON OUR RETURN TO THESE UNITED STATES.

 

It was in March & April that we spent a great many hours in a rented van & in rented rooms throughout many of these United States. There were triumphs & there were moments that I would rather not remember. We met a great number of charming & adorable (I know that sounds condescending, but you were) humans along the way. Their collective kindnesses & warmth kept me from wanting to put a bag over my head. Here are some pictures from the instagram front:

 

 

…& now for Europe.

This trip is strange & compartmentalized—we’re spending the vast majority of our time in the borders of the Axis countries (naturally), with a few minor dalliances outside of their cold, loving arms. We hope to see you there. We miss you. We love you.
