More comprehensive update to come, but for now, check out our photos from the first week of biking on Flickr or better yet Facebook (where all the photos have captions and comments.)
If I were Tomaž Šalamun,I’d ride wild on an invisible bicycle,
like a metaphor sprung from a poem’s cage,
still not certain of its freedom,
but making do with movement, wind and sun.
-Adam Zagajewski
Greetings from Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park! So excited to be following your journeys. Loving the pictures and the poetry, especially your Mary Oliver quotation. Here is another from Thoreau to keep you inspired to keep on moving, always: “We no longer camp as for a night, but have settled down on Earth and forgotten Heaven.” Here’s to camping, and never forgetting! Happy roads!
I’ve come here to get high
To do more than just get by
I’ve come to test the timber of my heart…
ride on ladies!
Lovely to hear from you Sally! I haven’t been to Waterton-Glacier yet but it’s high on my hit list, post-Cycling Silk. And I love the quote you sent! Camp on, indeed, heaven is here and now. Wishing you happy trails, and more updates to come from us as we wend our way to India.
Arjun, Pug hits it on the NAIL. Hope all’s well in your world these days, and that you’re playing outside lots.
