The Europe to Honolulu stint is a long haul, so I’m jet-lagged—itchy to write, but not yet sentient enough on the flip side to do so coherently. I read some books on the plane, and largely spent the rest of the flight mourning that I was not on-trail. (Might just be my favorite trip I’ve taken.) Just now, I loved clomping around in my hiking boots, and the moral superiority of being oh-so-light with just my backpack in the airport. ‘Til the next trip!

Until then, a few postcards to tide y’all over, probably until tomorrow when I can peel myself out of that catatonic post-flight stupor.

Probably my favorite photo I took. First afternoon, crossing from France into Italy.

A flatter part of my very long walk.

The holy trinity of thru-hiking.

More to come — mostly gorgeous trail photos that will feel repetitive to y’all and nostalgic to me.
