Most of the time the story is told from “Once upon a Time”. This story starts with “The End”.
The “idea” and the reality of any endeavor are universes apart. A two-pound black box called an iPad was stored safely among the other, what I believed to be, necessary items in my pack. I was absolutely sure I couldn’t survive without any of it. The reality versus the necessity of said contents became painfully clear on day one. Six miles uphill in +90 degrees (we learned Celsius conversion very quickly) was a stark reminder of the adage “Less is more” (or lighter) in this case.
I will retrace my steps but this time it will be in digital and not physical form. In doing so, I may find a gem or two that I missed along the way. (while keeping my mind busy counting steps till the next rest so I could more easily ignore my feet whose constant chatter was most annoying)
