All according to plan

Arlo's uncle asked if our trip went according to plan. We laughed and said yes since we didn't have much of a plan! We created it en route by talking and learning from others along the way, giving us flexibility and spontaneity and the ability to follow the good weather clouds (the blue & white Bavarian checkerboard flag is a tribute to the good weather sky.)

Thanks to all who helped us along our route, including the generous Italian who bought us grappa to thank us for the Marshall Plan, to the family for hosting us and taking such great care of us at the start and end of our hike, and most of all to Arlo for safely driving on tiny mountain roads and racetrack autobahns, for helping me climb house-sized boulders and ladders drilled into rock walls, for capturing so many beautiful photos and videos, and for making me a pb&j sandwich on a high mountain pass when I most needed comfort food.

Thanks for reading!

Auf Wiedersehen!
