Though it has taken quite a while, be assured, it is happening. It would be rude to jump right in, so let us start with how I initially planned my trip. The pre-departure …

Though I have been preoccupied, I have always had time to write. Unfortunately, I have had little incentive or compulsion to post.

While I did say that I had many different inspirations motivating me to hike alone for three weeks in a strange country, I didn’t say what they were. I should have, because when I tell people about this particular …
