Hey van lovers!
Most of the vans I blog are ones I find online, but here’s one I got to meet in person! About a year ago, I was at a street festival in Lancaster, PA, where I came across the Menno Tea bus! I don’t see a lot of VW buses where I live, and this was one of the first I had come across since I started this blog. I got so excited that the girls working the tea booth came over and asked me if I wanted a photo with it! I didn’t really since the photos are for the blog... But I didn’t want to say no! So there’s me with the bus, not sure whether to smile and feeling a little silly. But anyway, the girls were super nice, and when I told them I have a van blog they told me I should talk to the owner and he’d give me the bus’s whole story. I never did get in touch with him, but maybe one of these days I’ll cross paths with it again. Such a cool bus.
