On the Road
Hi Everyone!
Sorry for the long gap between updates. We have been on the road for about 4 weeks now and have had Trading Tortoise stops in Toronto, Boston, Dover OH, Ypsilanti MI, Milwaukee WI, and are preparing for our 6th stop this afternoon from 1pm to 3pm at the Walker Art Center's Open Field in Minneapolis, MN!
We've gotten a wonderful response and many people have come out to trade special things with us, from the truly bizarre to the intimately sentimental. It's been very inspiring. Our heads have been swimming with all the great stories we've heard so far.
We are working on compiling the content for our blog, and will update it soon with some of our adventures and experiences so far. For now we've been posting photos from the road on the front page, so if you have a chance, please take a look. We've met so many interesting people and seen so many places already, it's crazy to think that we still have 4 more months of traveling to do!
Hope to see you somewhere down the road,
Monica and Souther

Great meeting you guys in Milwaukee! I hope my Harley Bear finds a good home. This is such a great project. If you haven't seen it yet, the art critic in Milwaukee wrote about your stop in town - http://ht.ly/c4vec
