We thought the sights were spectacular and together with the various climbs made an indelible impression. Each day varies allowing every location to be multi-dimensional. The water-color on the day was magnificent, striking us with each glance. What a world!
We had an enjoyable discussion with a young man, recently settled in the city. He was 30 years old and it turns out we share a birthdate but not the year. We've met a number of young people over the years, something that would not happen in city life. It gives us an opportunity to get the younger (much) generation's perspective on life. While we are not that naive to believe everybody is decent, we know we've met some incredible young adults. Many of them, contrary to the work ethic with which we were raised, have relegated earning (chasing) money to a lower echelon and prefer to pursue outdoor goals supported by undertaking part-time opportunities.
Perhaps one of finer aspects of these periods are the earnest feelings I have had about one young man and two women, one of each gender being Spanish, is that they were just the people one would like to bring home for unmarried children. They were that impressive. Of course, they got insight into a potential father-in-law...a negative, indeed. By the way, when we are on a multi-day treks, much time is spent together, thus allowing for the feelings to develop rather than being impulsive judgements.
Distinctive sight and site.
This is the point at which one commits. Should one not be able to make it back up, one does not know what lies behind.
Cheers,
