It's Not About The Walk - It's About The Journey

Yesterday we walked to Jacmel. Our journey started when we left the house at 3:30 in the morning, dranking good strong coffee we picked up Beth and met up with the Hojara's (plus twenty five kids) and made our way up this side of the mountain. Dan and Ted would take us in trucks up this side of the mountain, we would walk across to Sequin and they would pick us up on the other side - easy!
I did say MOUNTAIN!
I am sore this morning, but I am really happy I did it. They say, it is easier the second time! I guess I am still in the place that you are in after you have a baby! Meaning, it takes awhile before you think you can do it again! So, ask me in couple of weeks.

As we walked the teenagers left us in the dust! Beth, Lisa and I made our way slow and steady over the trail. I can still hear Beth's words, "Yeah, for us it is about the journey and not just the walk!"

More on the walk later....Enjoy your journey!
