Meso America and the End of the Walk
|
Posted at 23:00 EST

When I finally found my way to Meso-America, I found myself far behind my companions. I never did catch up, but I had fun exploring by myself. Tulum was absoultely grand, and Tikal, and Palenque, and the Mirador Basin. So many new and interesting places!
But the end of our Long Walk did come at last.
And now to find my way home. My feet hurt! And my knees, and my hips and my... I wonder if there's some way to get back to Kituwah besides hiking?

Potlatch!
|
Posted at 23:00 EST

The tribes of the Pacific Northwest are a most generous lot. A guest isn't expected to bring a gift to the host of their Potlatch parties. On the contrary, the measure of the host is taken by the gifts he bestows upon his guests. Our hosts must surely be among the best of their tribes, judging from these fine gifts!

These boots will come in handy during the miles ahead to walk
And this Chilkat blanket will certainly keep me warm during my travels
A Salish pipe, no doubt will help me mellow out after a long day's walk

First stop: Land of the Aurora Borealis

Our walk began in the frozen north, the land of the hospitable Inuit and the beautiful and mysterious northern lights.
From here, we walked south, stopping at the Western Great Lakes, home of the Ojibway.
