We did the impossible! We did what we thought we'd never do! (Mostly because we didn't think about it too hard.) We did what seemed physically impossible! Sophie and I hiked the entire firetrail. It took us 3.5 hours, but we did it. Without stretches and only a few attempts at hitchhiking. No ticks, no rashes, no bites. Damn that trail is long.
What do two people talk about for 3.5 hours while leisurely hiking? Development of the third world, post-WWI industrialism, the importance of history (as opposed to Development Studies or other theory-based views of the past), beginnings of capitalism, woe is the world and boo.
We came back to an onion-less house, meaning no pho for us.
Carlos is playing Warcraft III and I'm reading about Guantanamo while eating leftover spicy curry.
It's a cloudy day and I couldn't ask for better.
