Today has been a landmark day! Three milestones:
1. We've entered the Rockies! We were surprised to coast down into the mountains; we reached the top of an especially high foothill, where we were treated to the sight of those awesome peaks -- the sight of exhiliration and exertion, of elevation and elation. From that foothill, we coasted down... way down... into a river valley, and we kept on coasting until we were surrounded by the mountains' conifer slopes and stoney peaks.
2. Today marks the third month of the tour! If our timeline is correct, that means we're fully one-quarter of our way to Costa Rica!
3. Our timeline is indeed correct; today also saw us passing the 4000 km mark! Once again, that signifies one-quarter of the tour's distance!
All in all, circumstances aligned exceptionally well today! You can expect me to post again soon to gush about how mega-fantastic mountains are.
