I made a huge coffee mistake.

Atchalafalaya Welcome Center, Louisiana.

Free coffee if you can wait until 8:30!

Turning on the Mr. Heater Portable Buddy propane heater from bed.

Taking coffee matters into my own hands.

Window van vs. windowless van. The case for windows.

A lot of van life forum posters recommend a windowless van. I completely disagree. But it depends on what type of van life appeals to you.

Windows-
Enjoy the beauty/scenery
Security/be aware of your surroundings

Windowless –
Urban camping privacy
Insulation

Jungle Gardens, Avery Island, Louisiana.

Dang, I really want to see an alligator today.

Okay, that’s enough.

Wow, is this place beautiful!

I highly recommend Jungle Gardens.

TABASCO Factory Tour.  Eh.

Off to another beach campground, even though I’m still shell-shocked after my last beach camping experience.
