HIPPIE WAGON!

DUDES! Coolest thing ever! I saw a freakin Hippie van that looked like the Mystery Machine! I've seen it over the years but only a few times and never caught a picture! The two people in my other pictures (the boy and the girl- boyfriend and best friend) were along with me in the car. I saw the van pulling up into its driveway and I said, "Ooh! STOP PLEASE!" to him, and he started to slow down. My best friend said, "No! Don't stop, she's retarded" but he did.



Thank goodness because as soon as we pulled over, I had my phone out and ready and the passenger (an older woman of about 60 years old- amazing I know!) and the driver (her husband I presume) got out of the car. She told me to come here before I snapped the picture. My boyfriend said he was going to come with me and I ran toward the woman and she asked how many of us there were. She opened up the car door behind the passenger's seat. I said three, and she gave us three necklaces with peace signs hanging on them. Then before she shut the door she said, "We even have green carpet in here!"



I asked if I could take a picture of their car and she said in a slow, monotone voice with a constant smile that never left her face, "sure, go ahead, we've had a lot of fun in this van," I excitedly said, "So would I!" Her husband was standing in the back of the car. I took the picture and said, "THANK YOU! You guys are so awesome!" and she held up a peace sign with her hand, said "Peace" and we left. I was smiling for so long, because that was so cool!



Most awesome thing ever!!!!!!!! How many times does that happen in a lifetime!? Probably once if not at all, I am thrilled I've met real hippies, that after years and years, they remain what they believed in!
