In 2010, Joan joined me on a 22-day backpack trek hiking the entire John Muir Trail — over 230 miles in total. Friends suggested that if we were still together after that, we were as good as married.
In 2011, we skipped the boots and tents and opted for three weeks in Paris.

Paris was a memorable trip.



Congratulations guys. I didn’t realize you guys had a website dedicated to this. Never too late to wish you a great journey. You guys are cool, enjoy the engagement and keep telling us about your finds and stuff. Love the blog.
Oscar, isn’t this the way you do it nowadays? Actually, we have friends and family coming from out of town, and figured this would be a great way to give them details and up-to-date info.
And it’s kinda fun.
