Hike 'n ...Hike! (and then swim a bunch)

Packed over "waterfalls" (really just dry stream bed cross training), through mountain passes, and in and around a big beautiful lake. The St.Paul Trail--a "cultural"/hard as shit trek in the alleged and quite rough footsteps of apostle Paul in his travels from Jerusalem--with 2 FBright friends was BOMB. And I saw So. Many. Goats. The most goats. Probably. And sheep. Ate cherries from the trees and from the hands of kind villagers. Fended off sheep dogs with rocks held high while passing by many a shepherd's hut. Tore up my unwisely Chacoed feet for four days, but it was SO worth it. What a trip!!
