VW van, seen on the street, No. 3

Downtown Portland. Lots going on to watch and/or photograph. I took this photo on July 23, 2008, at 11:50 a.m. while on my lunch hour. If memory serves, the bright orange VW van circled the block several times before I got up from my bench and went to catch the bus back to work. The last couple of years the times for bus arrivals at work and departures back to work have not lent themselves to much of a relaxed lunch time in the park. I hope 2013 proves to be much better for me.

I always wanted a VW bus, thats we called them.

Those were all the rage not so long ago! The biggest problem, as I recall, was they tended to tip over if the driver wasn't paying attention! This one looks like it was used for long-distance travel.

Creative street names? 1, 2, 3, ... We have some good ones too A, B, C. Very NON-creative.

One of my neighbors has a van like that. It's tan though. I like the orange better!

VW vans bring out the hippie in me. Love the color.
