Road Diary: One of those Moments

A blast from the past. When we first set off almost a decade ago we wanted to make audio slide shows. We only made a few. I distinctly remember making this in a cheap motel in far west Texas. We had nothing to eat but a tin of olives and vienna sausages. To channel the hunger, I worked on making videos. This is one of those moments that you experience while traveling and hold on in the back of your mind like a lucky penny for when you need it most.
