A red coloured plate containing two slices of corn bread and a white coloured plate containing rice, chicken, pasta salad, carrots and cauliflower, and roast pork.

My AirBnB host prepared an awesome spread of food for her family for Christmas and was happy to share a plate with me. It was a delicious meal!

Hiking boots defeated by the mud from El Mirador trek

Left and right hiking boots covered with thick mud

I was hoping to use these boots all the way to Patagonia in Argentina and Chile, but the muddy trailers were just too much for them. Thankfully they helped me hike various trails on three different continents and lasted over ten years.

Retirement date: November 11, 2022.
