It was beautiful walking weather today. It was in the mid 80s and cloudy for most of the day. We began at 5:00 am and enjoyed at least a little bit of countryside walk before we found ourselves walking through a very dusty rock quarry. Once we got out of there it was nearly all city walking. This isn’t our favorite walking environment. Regardless, we met some nice people; a man and his son who had turned their vehicle around to see what we were all about. We gave cards to both of them.
We also met this guy. He surprised me because when we took a cell phone selfie, he d u dnt flash the peace sign or give us the thumbs up like most people do. Instead, he busted out the ASL I LOVE YOU hand. I asked him if he knew what it meant snd he told me that it meant love and peace and I explained that it was an ASL sign and that I was an interpreter and etc.
I’ve said it before, our postcards really resonate with some people. He was one of those people. He did and said something really beautiful that I will never forget.
This is a photo of the three of us. I hope he checks the website and sees our photo.
Hi Micae & Doug, It’s awesome to see you’ve had such a wonderful time on your journey! I wonder what it would have been like for Hippolyte Cervais? Would he have had the kindness of others? Would his trip of been as nice for him as it has been for you? Back then I’m not sure! I do know he is with you on this journey, smiling the whole way! My prayers are with you both! Cindy
Such an amazing journey you 2 are on. Wowzzer.
Thanks David, it’s coming to an end. We only have 228 more miles to walk. It’s been fun, it’s been challenging and unforgettable. We hope to be in Hong Kong in another 14 days.
I am Brian’s older sister…You are an interpreter??? I work with the Deaf in a junior high school- over 30 years now all grade levels at one time or another.
Yes, I heard there was another interpreter in the family. I do community college and university and I’m thinking about doing VRS.
