Europe N to S: Episode 22 – Farewell Switzerland

Wally: What? There’s more? Didn’t we stop walking almost a year ago? Out of Order: Yes, Wally, but we never finished the videos. Remember, our phone broke? We got behind, we stashed hundreds of files away and promised to return to them? Wally: Whew! Ok, ok, false alarm everyone! False alarm! Just more sitting. Out […]

Europe N to S: The End (5/29/17)

Today’s Miles: 6.2 Total Miles: 6,352.5 Tarifa, Spain, The Southernmost Point of Europe – May 29, 2017 I had last night planned out perfectly in my head. Find a quiet place to tuck into somewhere along the coast. Sleep under the stars. Watch lights in Africa glow across the straight in the darkness. Wake before […]

Europe N to S: Last Horizons (5/28/17)

Today’s Miles: 17.2 Total Miles: 6,346.3 Guadalmesí, Spain – May 28, 2017 A thin haze hangs in the morning air, blurring imagination and reality. The sun glows gold and silver against the water, leaving Gibraltar to rise like a shadowy battleship among the waves. Giant ships from across the seas, each a thousand feet long, […]

Europe N to S: The Pillar of Hercules (5/27/17)

Today’s Miles: 25.9 Total Miles: 6,329.1 Near Algeciras, Spain – May 27, 2017 Gibraltar rises like a ghost in the distance, its rock turned into a shadow by the hazy air. I stop to stare, sitting beside a dusty road as the sun glares above. It’s unmistakable. I am certain of its identity without ever […]

Today’s Miles: 26.5 Total Miles: 6,303.2 Past Benalup Casas Viejas – May 26, 2017 The cashier catches my eye and shakes her head as I enter the store. I am suddenly aware again of my beard and sweat-stained shirt. She tells me that I can’t come in with my backpack. I unbuckle my straps and […]

Europe N to S: Out of Order Under Repair (5/25/27)

Today’s Miles: 27.6 Total Miles: 6,276.7 Near El Mojo, Spain – May 25, 2017 I sit up and swing my legs off the side of the bed. Patches of heat rash remain on my skin, still warm to the touch, like smoldering ruins after a fire. My feet look worn, but not battered. I poke […]

Europe N to S: Sixty-Three Miles (5/24/17)

El Cuervo, Spain – May 5, 2017 The lights of Seville glow on the horizon behind me, casting an orange yellow haze into the dark sky. Only the strongest stars twinkle above, willing themselves into existence through the electric light spilling into the night. Ahead, the horizon darkens to black, lit only by flashes of […]

Europe N to S: Untying the Guadalquivir in Seville (5/23/17)

Today’s Miles: 25.9 Total Miles: 6,204.4 South of Seville, Spain – May 23, 2017 Seville’s knot of rivers and roads untangles slowly. A bridge here. A sidewalk there. A bike path. An underpass. Cities are not made to be walked across anymore. I have to pick at the different threads, untangling them one by one […]
