Greeting. I have returned from my hiking trip along the Carpathian Mountains. It was a very lovely experience and the weather was very nice as well. I started in Romania, then I went through Ukraine, and then ended my journey in Slovakia. The other hikers in my group were very nice and I seemed to make friends quite easily with them. We camped out for most of the time but we did stop off in a few cities. We stopped in Radauţi, Romania... then off to Kolomyya, Ukraine...took a bus to Lviv, Ukraine...then ended our journey in Kosice, Slovakia. The hiking really put my fitness to the test. I am exhausted now that I am back home. I am very excited that my garden though has grown since I have been gone. I have very big sunflowers that greeted me in the front of my house.
My nephew is fully recovered. Though, my uncle did pass away before left. he was battling OCPD and was insulin dependent. He was a Vietnam war veteran so his funeral had full military honors.
