I may have covered some of this in earlier posts, but as we get to the end of the trip, these are the main things I think we've learned. This kind of trip is awesome. Stay a few days somewhere and move on means you're never too upset by anything, and you never get bored. … Continue reading Some Key Learnings →

It's amazing, and a bit sad, but of course inevitable, that we're approaching the end of the trip! I got my run in, then quick supermarket trip.
