A final post

A blog post by Adam. 363 days. Ten countries; eleven if you count our day in Frankfurt. From more than 600 feet below sea level to over 10,000 feet above. The equator, as well as 50 degrees south. These were the places we went over the course of nearly a complete year. We saw the most amazing places and had the most unique experiences. 

And yet, if you've followed the blog, or even managed to make it to the end of a few posts, it should be  clear that this trip has been as much (or more) about people than places. Time and again we've written about people rather than about everything we've seen (I admit, for the casual reader it's been pretty repetitive). As it turns out, it is easier to have an emotional connection with a human than a mountain or waterfall or even a giant tortoise. That is, while the sights impressed us, the people touched us. 

 

How lucky we have been to travel the world and meet so many wonderful people. How lucky we have been to do this as a couple and at times do this with family and friends. The trip is ending and with it the blog. But the connections...those are bound to last a lifetime.
