Back to ... civilization ?

So here I am after 5 weeks on the trails ...

I have seen wonderful places; witnessed breathtaking sunrises; met interesting people; laughed for days in a row; walked for days in a row; climbed endless stairs; descended endless stairs; chased countless butterflies; taken thousands of pictures; marvelled at the magnificent peaks; slept under the stars; read three books; filled 2 notebooks; used 4 pens.

I came back reluctantly. I slowed down the closer I got to "civilization".
I wanted to stay on the mountain.

I have fulfilled a dream! I think I am very fortunate.

Seeing and experiencing all this is something I cannot, unfortunately, capture in words or images.
I can't go as far as to say that this is worth breaking up a relationship. Sometimes we do things only after we receive the right kick. That was my kick. Hurting somebody is nothing I can agree with for whatever reasons.
But this is worth every effort.


There were 48 emails waiting for me, some comments and a couple dozen of spam emails.
I will try to reply and I will try to catch up on my reports.
