The trail dips downhill into the forest as we set off from the TH. Foggy clouds whip overhead. We meet a group of 5 young men, each from a different country in Europa. I recall one from Spain, another from Czechia, another from the UK, another from Poland, another from Germany or France, not sure. Then we meet an elderly couple from somewhere couple cruising along back to their car. Then we meet a young couple from Ukraine. Told them we’re sorry for what their homeland is going thru with the Russian invasion, but I did wonder to myself why at least he wasn’t over there fighting. But they seem happy to be here now. They were really young, maybe still in college. Again, why didn’t I take any pictures of all these fascinating people? I just didn’t. Fond memories of our brief encounters, tho!
