 It’s quiet outside, our friends long gone, the adventure has started: Wilma the Wohnmobil on a trip across the US, including: The Lazerksooman, formerly known as Chris, determined to spread the Lazerkasoo all over the country and me, Jutta, or, as the Americans say, Dschudda, determined to survive.

If we looked out of the window right know, which we don’t, we’d see nothing, since it’s night and dark. If we did that tomorrow morning, we’d still see nothing. Wonderful vast country America! No, just kidding. Wonderful parking lot in front of the RV repair shop!
Wilma, the beautiful old lady that is giving us a cozy shelter right now, needs some spa time for herself - the last days were kinda stressful for her. So let’s summarize what has happened so far, because the adventure actually had started a long time ago.

Back to December 2010. We had Wilma for a couple of weeks and she seemed to be doing fine. Ok, the fridge turned out to be not working and who needs a heater anyway? But a clutch seemed kind of essential, so we replaced that after being towed by triple A.
And than, January 1st. Isn’t there a saying in German at each New Years Eve: Have a good slide into the New Year? Well Wilma, obviously unaware of metaphorical speaking, slid all the way down a very sloppy slope (backwards!!) until she finally hit a car, shifted into first gear -what a happy New Year!

So here we are, not far from what used to be our home, waiting for Wilma to retain her old beauty and for the adventures to proceed!
