So, somewhere along the line I became a hiker

I think I became a hiker when I was trying to regain my sense of adventure, which has unfortunately been misplaced of late.

And when I say hiker...I haven't actually been on any hikes yet...but I plan to.

My dad arrives tonight and we are heading away to check out the rice terraces and mummies of Northern Luzon. We are even going to do some caving - so of course I needed some new shoes!

They are unattractive and practical and I love them.

But more importantly I love what they represent.

A newfound sense of adventure and willingness to try anything.

I'll be offline until Monday next week (some places don't even have power, let alone WiFi).

Don't miss me too much.
