Tea Bus |
||||
Edna Lu, the tea bus, was purchased in March of 2008 to be turned into a mobile free tea house. As of January 2016, a lot of mechanical work has gone into her, as well as some general upgrades. She's been a tea house since the day she was bought in San Diego, CA. Read about bus building and see pictures here. |
