I laughed constantly when I was reading A Walk in the Woods. The part about bears...oh dear, makes me laugh just thinking about it. Have you read In A Sunburned Country? It's hysterical and since you've lived in Australia, you might enjoy it on a whole new level!
(and the "oops" above was me - my fingers are having issues tonight!)
phd me - yes, I loved In A Sunburned Country. He was spot on in some of his descriptions of places.
Reading a Walk in the Woods motivated me to go hiking. I planned a 4 day trip for 8 people and we walked the Milford Track.
I'm looking forward to Mommy Monday post and the latest news of Minnow and her all round delightfulness.
rj - I would love to trek the Milford Track. I took a cruise on the sound and was absolutely enchanted. But when I set off to do a dayhike on the Kepler Track a few days later, I got so thoroughly soaked that I ended up hypothermic. Not fun.
Anyways, hope you enjoy the mommy monday post I just put up.
