Does anyone even look on this website anymore? I sure hope so.
Arrived safe and with all extremities intact, but with a severe case of planter fasciitis that I’m still nursing months later.
It’s funny, this walk was our whole life. For months we planned excessively, fund raised painfully, and then walked both excessively and painfully [...]

Oh Boston, You Tease Me With Your Distance

With so many days behind us, I am constantly reminded of how many days we still have ahead of us. I know what you must be thinking, “Connecticut is such a small and wimpy state, how could it possible have any power over your indomitable will?” The answer is remarkably simple…our final test is to [...]

-We were given a tour of Washington, DC by the sharpest cat on Capitol Hill. Miss Laly let us in on all the secrets, and we learned that Lady Liberty actually faces East because she is Muslim and must face Mecca. o, how we wish that were true. Also, our waitress wrote [...]
Reunited And It Feels So Good.

I would take this opportunity and publicly announce my love-hate relationship with Southern Virginia. We walked through some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen. With the possible exception of a road running through it, the land was completely untouched. So what’s the problem? A girl’s gotta eat. We spend all day walking [...]
Ohh Oprah…Where are you?

The other day we stayed at a hotel and watched Oprah’s show and I thought, “we are totally Oprah-worthy.” So just our luck, my love to swim, though I shouldn’t exert any wasted energy, proved beneficial. I met a man named Jason who’s cousin works for Gayle (Oprah’s homegirl). A girl can hope right?
Anyhow, [...]

Hey South Carolina and Other States to the South,
We think that should stop littering your streets and killing off your animals. Florida; Armadillos, Georgia; Snakes, South Carolina; Sea Turtles…why do you hate these little animals so much? I know, snakes bite, armadillo smell and sea turtles, well, they just explode when you all hit them.
You [...]

The illustrious Holly Rose reminded me not long ago that enough happens in a single day to contemplate for a lifetime. The last week has been a great reminder of that. We decided to stay an extra day in Charleston and really take in the events during the Piccolo Spoleto festival. During breakfast at the hostel we met [...]

Dear Readers,
Something remarkable keeps happen on this trip: our restaurant bills disappear. We will stop in a small mom and pop diner, the waitress will undoubtedly inquire what we are doing, and an eavesdropping patron will sneakily pay our tab as we devour whatever food is on the table. It must be magic.
We were invited to [...]
Southern Hospitality

It’s something us northerners often here but aren’t quite sure what it entails…until now.
We have been welcomed into so many homes and for that we cannot be more thankful.
One hot May day in Cocoa, FL we were finished walking for the night, we walked over to an unpromising, empty church parking lot and there we met [...]
