Nice van! I like the curtains. Very Floridian. Aircooled, automatic, and air conditioned! It's a good thing Florida is flat.

The pictures of the van at the beach make me miss FL. The sea oats, sea grapes, and palm trees that once lined the shore have been replaced with sea walls. Crying or Very sad

I'd rather be in Colorado myself.
