I did keep entries in a journal the old school way and will type them up when I get home.
Just to highlight a few of the interesting things. I'm gonna bullet them and then the blog can be read retrospectively.
-A rescue by a helicopter (not me- don't worry)
-A damaged passport
-Communal beds in refuges
-Great food- so so much cheese
-goats, ibex, sheep, cows and bells of course
-8 hours a day on our feet
-a French man in a too revealing bathing suit
-mountains, glaciers, green grass, blue skies and only one day of drizzle.
I feel sad to be done the hike but glad to not having to walk 8 hours up and down with 20lb on my back.
Someone once told me that I don't have any hobbies . I said hiking & the outdoors was my hobby. But now I must say hiking isn't a hobby, it's a passion. I can't wait to explore other mountains in other countries, continents (Andes, Kilimanjaro, Pyrenees....). I also wanna get back to the alps and see more of them. This was just a taste.

yes, anything with passion will make great hobby. glacier and green grass, really breath taking just putting the two together in my mind. Glad you have a great time. See you soon.
