Thoughts
Over the past 5 weeks our days have taken on routine. We get up between 5:30 and 6:00, have our coffee and start preparing for our day of walking. We leave to drive to our start point and begin walking, sometimes as early as 7:30, sometimes as late as 9:30. Sometimes we have some early breakfast, more often we wait to eat. We walk and we start dreaming of what we will enjoy for dinner...
Our walks have taken various forms--start at the finish line and walk back to the start, walk from the start to the finish, rest every 6 km or 8 km or sometimes more, enjoy a snack or light breakfast close to noon. We try to keep a pace of 5.3 km per hour, any faster and there are consequences for me (sore back).
After the walk we return to our accommodations, shower and rest before heading out for a rewarding seafood dinner. And after dinner, catch up on emails, post the blog, watch baseball (Jerry), read and crash til the next morning.
For 2 delightful weeks we had friends to accompany us on our walks, one week Rich and Ada and the second week John and Jaellayna. In both weeks we had a natural routine, transitioning from one week to the next so very smoothly. We are so grateful to have had this time together and to enjoy the support both couples offered (and continue to offer).
Now our walks are drawing to a close...only one more to go. PEI has been so good to us, as mentioned yesterday other than Fiona, the weather has been wonderful. Today was no exception. We enjoyed cool, crisp, sunny weather and for the most part, quiet country roads. We have had some amazing meals and have taken every advantage of fresh seafood.

I left a comment earlier, but it doesn't seem to appear. Maybe I didn't save it properly. In case it eventually shows up, I guess I'll just be repeating myself (though not word-for-word). I was admiring your sweet reflections of your time there as you are on the eve of your final segment of this trail walk.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jaellayna, it is a time for some reflection as we reach our goal, nothing earth shattering though!
ReplyDeleteYou must both be so excited. It is an amazing adventure. Enjoy your last day. 🤗
