I've finished my (virtual) 30-mile trek through Berlin, and am happy that I did it. It provided me with the motivation to walk (almost every day), some interesting scenery (via Google maps), and I learned plenty of things about Berlin and the Berlin Wall along the way.
Ryan has friends in Germany that told him they view Berlin as a crowded, somewhat dirty city, but that could probably be said of almost any place with a population of 3.7 million. Even with my small virtual trip from Waltersdorfer Chaussee to Hermsdorf, I've seen that it's also a city with politics, culture, history, academics, and plenty of good food. Maybe someday I'll be able to visit Berlin and Germany in person, but until then I'm going to keep walking in NJ so I'll be able to walk in other real geographic locations in the future.
So where is my next challenge taking me? For a 145-mile journey through The Shire. I've just begun, and I think this will take me much of the summer to complete, but I'm excited to travel to Middle-earth!
Your first trek seemed to go quickly! Glad you've found the motivation you needed to walk. The next one should be very interesting...and fun! Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteYou must have enjoyed your walk through Berlin since you are now going to take a much longer walk. I admire your tenacity. I have begun to walk again, but my body revolts some days. It is lovely to get out i spring weather when I can. Congratulations on your finish, Bonny. Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteyou are seeing the world through the comfort of your own town, how wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteBRAVO! What a great way to motivate yourself to keep moving! I think The Shire will be a really fun challenge, and I'm excited to see what happens as you make your trek through Middle Earth. XO
ReplyDeleteBravo to you! Well done, well done!! :) (and my plan is to get myself on the path to Middle Earth with you soon!)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing your walk! (I'd say that in German if I knew how!) As you're walking through the Shire, don't forget that Second Breakfast is important to keep up your strength!
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo, go you!
ReplyDeleteYahoo!! Congrats, Bonny! Excited for your new adventure.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I can't wait to hear about your adventures as you walk through Middle Earth!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debbie! I've only walked ~7 miles through the Shire, but this one is already providing fun and motivation!
