Still Alive: This was a Triumph

Huge success!

Sebrand and I have officially and at long last completed our four thousand mile journey. From the arid sands of the Gobi to the salty beaches of Pattaya. It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction.

  
The points on our map make a beautiful line through a large portion of Asia, all of which we’re so lucky to have seen. We’re both a little sunburned, I’ve got weird rashes on my arms and legs, and we could probably be a little cleaner than we are. 

  
  
But, we’re far out of China and we’ve arrived on time. So I’m glad we got burned and roughed up. We learned so much, we’re still alive, and we got the experience of a lifetime.

When I began writing this post late last night, I had already titled it. I had no clue the last night would make it seriously appropriate. We were nearly hit by trucks and chased by packs of dogs all night. 

  
But after twenty three hours of no sleep, we’ve completed our final day and lay at the sunny beaches of Pattaya.

This is what it feels like to have the bredth of a continent rolled into our tires.

Game Clear

  1. You all rock! What a grand accomplishment and experiences which you’ll carry…and learn from… your entire life. People and places have changed you…and you have changed others during your excahnge of dialog and interactions. You’ve defined what’s possible when faced with thousands of miles in front of you and a couple tires below. I look forward to reading your reflections. R&R 🙂
