Visitor Parking
On our walks this week, Olga and I have passed this van, a vintage Renault Trafic converted into a camper of sorts. It's got character, doesn't it? Like the French equivalent of an old VW bus.
It's also covered with jaunty, but very faded, stickers. These must be a record of the places it's been -- in this case, Euro-Disney, I'm guessing?
This poor guy is crawling and swinging all around the margins...
...while Marilyn, feeling blue, looks on with a sultry expression.
Don't most people talk to their pets? I certainly do.
You can just see a hint of the missing red pigments in this cluster of stickers. It's weird how the reds and yellows have vanished so thoroughly from all of them. I wouldn't have thought our weak European sun capable of such fading!
I think whoever drives this van must be just passing through, as it's not a normal fixture in our neighborhood. I hope they pick up a few new stickers while they're here.

I'm so happy you are still blogging and photo snapping ♥️ I adore you still! Xoxo!
A few new stickers?... "I Love West Hampstead"... "We've Been 2 Putney"..."As Photographed By Steve Reed for National Geographic"...
Yes! It does have a certain panache about it! The little ninjas or whatever they are make me giggle.
Amazing that this thing still runs!
Love seeing an old camper/van like this there. Good to know people are still traveling around like this everywhere.
Hopefully no more bullet holes like the one in the second picture from the end!
I love it! It looks like it's been to a lot of interesting places.
It's when the cat starts talking back that you need to be afraid.
I love the old vans. The new kind are just not the same.
cool van. wonder what stories it would tell. perhaps you can find a cool sticker and leave it as a gift under the windshield wiper.
