I leave for my 3 month walk through Europe on Sunday so I just wanted to say "see ya!"
This year we are walking from France, over the mountains into Spain and then into Portugal. Some of you may remember I did this last year as well, but this year I am going as an assistant (so i get paid and go for free
) Pretty cool. This is the most amazing thing I have ever done!The website for the Walk In Europe Program is www.walkineurope.org. Check it out! If you click on "past walks" and choose 2002-B from the list, you can see pictures from my Walk last year.
I may be passing some internet cafes along the way, so if I do, I will try to log in and say HI! I'll be back in November. Then I will buy my new G5

Wouldn't it be nice to walk together
Baring our souls while wearing out the leather
We could talk shop, harmonize a song
Wouldn't it be nice to walk along
I'll show you houses of architectural renown
Some are still standing, some have fallen down
Farm houses buried under Canada's snow
Spanish villas on the Boulevards of Mexico
And I'll learn to tell the ash from the oak
And if you don't know I won't make no joke
We'll climb to the top to view the world from above
Or carve our initials in the trunk like teenagers in love
And when we get hungry we'll stop to eat
Gotta think of our stomachs and rest our feet
If we get thirsty we'll have a drink or two
In a mountain top bar with a mountain top view
And when we get tired we'll stop to rest
And if you still want to talk you can bare your breast
If it's winter and cold we'll take a rooming-house room
If it's summer and warm we'll sleep under the moon
And we'll talk about the sports we played
'Bout the time you got busted or the times I got laid
We'll talkof blood and how we were bred
Talk about the folks both living and dead
This song like this walk I find hard to end
Be my lover, be my friend
In sneakers or boots or regulation shoes
Walking beside you I never get the walking blues.

Don't forget my business cards...
Mostly kidding really, only if it's handy for you... I don't expect you to haul them all over the place for me... Looking forward to seeing some pictures of your adventures though...

Though this will be posted after you have already left you might log on sometime over there so my advice from the last trip still stands...
...keep a journal, write things down.
The mind forgets a lot over the years.
Enjoy!
