It's Raining- and We're Watching it through a Window!

Hey everyone,

We're back indoors! On the east coast, inside a house, surrounded by familiar faces- both deeply joyed and saddened to have completed our long walk.

We crossed the border with Canada just a week ago, hiked another eight miles to the road, spent a night, and made our way to Vancouver, Seattle, and eventually, Riverdale, NY.

Now comes a few more days with the family at Yannai's parents. Then it's back on home to Israel.

But guess what! On route to the Holy Land, we get to spent one last night in Dublin- to savor the end of this treasure of a journey we've been traveling, and enjoy the music, beer, cider and purest of happiness-es that make Ireland the oh-so-dear place it is.

We're gonna take a few weeks to gather our thoughts on the whole trip, the walking, the outside, the simplicity, the experiencing of uninterrupted nature and uninterrupted each other. When we've got it all together, we'll share our last week on the Pacific Crest Trail with you and post our closing thoughts. Feel free to prepare yours, too!

For the time being, we're excited to come home and bring the PCT, Ireland, Scotland and our last six months along with us.

May the coming year reveal to us the sweetest of things- and when they come, may we be awake enough to realize them and savor them eternally.

Chana and Yannai
