Day 38, #45.

Regular grilled chicken burrito from El Grullense on Middlefield Road. Redwood City, CA.

It was a little over a year ago when I decided to try living out of a vehicle. Essentially car camping, and showering at the gym or motels. It took some time to prepare and work up the nerve, but I made the change last month.

I knew the I would appreciate the pros (no responsibility for someone else’s property, flexibility in my spending), and I worried about the cons (police, strangers passing by, discomfort). Although it’s only been a month, I’m getting into it.

Don’t feel like crashing in my Jeep? Stay at a motel.

Feel like staying at the beach? Yeah, sure.

I wouldn’t do this for long in a vehicle as small as my current one. But what if I had a van, or small RV? Who knows.

Day 37, #44.

Regular grilled chicken burrito from Taquerias El Farolito on Grand Avenue. South San Francisco, CA.

This taqueria is in downtown South S.F. It’s a town tucked away in the foothills of San Bruno Mountain. You can’t miss its monicker as you pass by on your way to the city: SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO THE INDUSTRIAL CITY.

That’s my favorite aspect of life on the peninsula. It’s all a big suburb, but each town maintains a unique character.
