day 11 glacier grey
11/13/02 9:38 am Real time: to glacier gray � As I am walking, I am thinking, "what is the purpose of my traveling?" Searching? For what? Today all I did was sleep and walk (I am typing this the same time as I walk to Glacier Gray). Maybe I should spend more time thinking then typing, don't want to be poked by those spiky Calafate. Log off now.
Real time: forest � It's like inside a role playing adventure game, except I have no sword and there isn't any monsters to hack, I suppose I can hack other tourists... no, that won't be fun
Fact: Glacier gray � the left side was smooth because they were smooth moving water when frozen � The right side was rough because they were rapids and waterfalls
Hike: Camp Pehoe to Glacier Gray � Distant: 10.1km one way � Start: 9:15am � End: 1:00pm � Return start: 2:15pm � Return end: 5:25pm � Time: normally 3.5 hr to 4 hr � Load: Day Pack (2kg)
11/13/02 1:36 pm Real time: Glacier Gray � So what was the question again? The purpose of travelling. I supposed that's not as broad as the purpose of life and should be easier to answer. No? As I am typing, cold wind from the glacier crashed on my face. I am not too comfortable. Am I enjoying it now? Not really, my fingers are numb. But many years later when I looked back at the memory of the glacier gray, it will be a different feeling. The lonesome traveler, tire of walking and crappy food, meditated on the meaning of life in front of the glacier. What a sweet memory! Time is like a refrigerator; it froze the good old things like we were young again.
