In the Mountains
Couple
Originally uploaded by Luke Buehler
Over Christmas we went to the mountains. The weather was beautiful all the time, but even better was the company: My girlfriend Chrystal.
I must admit though that the transition from being alone in strange places to the comfortable life of Switzerland was quite intense but much more easy than I imagined. Crazy how fast I adopt to laziness and how hard I have to fight to cope with the hardship of a pilgrim.
There some new pics on my Flickr account. Enjoy.
The First Day
Some friends walked with me the first part today. I was a little nervous becuase it marked the beginning of the journey, but now I'm looking back to a great day with friends and Family. We started off at my parents house at around 9 in the morning, walked for an hour and then had a huge breakfast (my mom brought it with the car) . Later we had a nice fire for lunch and grilled some Bratwurst. To walk this far for the fist day was tough but gave me a good feeling what to expect. We finished the evening with a great dinner at Dieci and now I get to hang out at Dans apartment for the night.
Thank You my friends.
Okey, I’m Leaving… Really
Today was a goodbye party, it was an awesome time and I realized how blessed I am with my friends. I love you guys. In 8 hours I'm beginning my journey we have talked about it so much that I cant wait any longer to do it. Yes, I'm nervous but who wouldn't be... well I don't know what to expect. It'll be interesting and life changing anyway.
Well wishes and good bye.
30 Days Left
Until now that journey seemed far away, but the date of leaving comes closer and closer. The plan is to leave on the 12 of August which is a Sunday. The date is so fix because it would be cool if many friends could walk with me the first day!
We will leave at the house of my parents in Erlenbach and walk to Rapperswil together. It is quite a long walk and represents pretty exactly the daily distance that I will walk.
Everyone is invited to join and spend that day with us.
We'll leave at my house at 9:00 in the morning, I'll organize a nice breakfast! Please be there at around 8:30 to 9:00. We'll walk for 8 hours and 35 km. The only thing that you have to bring is a lunch for on the way. At around 18:00 we'll arrive in Rapperswil where we eat dinner together in the Restaurant Dieci.
