Leaving for France tomorrow, round two of my favorite country :) Its surreal though...I don't really think its hit that I am going to be gone for 7 months, which really isn't that long, but still! Anyways I am hoping to keep up with this blog through my time in Europe, wished I had done this when I studied abroad!... read more

Wow... It's been a long time since I've seen the internet! What is one to do? I've managed to make it all across New Hampshire and not have a single chance to fill you all in. I'm doing well and currently hanging out in the library on the Dartmouth University campus. I'll be spending the night at one of the fraternity houses. I've already stopped in there to shower and drop off my pack. New Hampshire has been wonderful! As soon as I hit the first town (Gorham) I noticed a difference in the trail. The AMC (Appalachian Mountain Club... AKA... Appalachian Money Collectors) does a great job maintaining the trail. One would hope so, because as far as I know they are the only ones with a paid trail crew. They charge money to stay ... read more

Hello Everyone! So right now I am sitting at home just having said good bye to my friends and am now waiting for my parents to get done doing whatever it is they are doing.

About 2.5-hour drive from Boston and we were in Franconia, New Hampshire. We have already entered White Mountain National Forest and all I can tell is that it's huge and there are several places to visit: waterfalls, view points, trails, caves, and forest. I definitely have things to keep me busy when I'm here again. Lost River Gorge, just a few miles off of route 3 to the west, belongs to a private party and is open to public for a fee of $13. The entire trail is boardwalk helps protect plants on the ground from tourist's footsteps. I took pleasure in hiking on this twisty boardwalk, let it lead me up and down, to the left and to the right. It took me to where the water from the falls was dropped into a creek, ... read more

Here we are with the car all packed up, ready for an adventure. As sad as it was to leave, there was lots of excitement in store for the next few days, and that kept us going.... read more
