"If you ask, I will tell you that I have embarked on this project, which I’m calling the Out of Eden Walk, for many reasons: to relearn the contours of our planet at the human pace of three miles an hour. To slow down. To think. To write. To render current events as a form of pilgrimage. I hope to repair certain important connections burned through by artificial speed, by inattentiveness. I walk, as everyone does, to see what lies ahead. I walk to remember." Paul Salopek - Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and National Geographic Fellow.
Paul Salopek is retracing on foot the global migration of our ancestors in a 21,000-mile, seven-year odyssey that begins in Ethiopia and ends in Tierra del Fuego.
So I'm strolling around 175 miles of New Rochelle and here is someone a year into a 7 year 21,000 mile walk! What an amazing odyssey! Thanks to Gordon Price of Price Tags for the link.
