You amaze me with the durability and tenacity of completing such a large ride. Well done.<br /><br />MikeMike Duggan Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09705998314196012501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9022149224975459657.post-56444880542846307672013-09-13T19:37:59.305-04:002013-09-13T19:37:59.305-04:00Luigi,
As I write these words I have it in my tho...Luigi,<br /> As I write these words I have it in my thoughts and imagination that, flying along with you, having passed Malibu, you glided with grace, harmony, joy, and in complete triumph in perhaps the greatest sense of accomplishment through the avenues of Los Angeles. And your words reveal that to Young Jo and me.<br /><br /> Let me reveal that each and every morning Young Jo and I got up to watch from our deck the sun come up, and eagerly to open the iPad to discover your sojourn and thoughts of the previous day. What a pleasure that was for us!! We exhilarated, we became exhausted, we suffered the winds in Idaho and Oregon, we became despondent, we rejuvenated our spirits, we resolved not to give up, to press on, to see the redwoods, the magnificent coast through your eyes. What a ride for us!! <br /><br /> So it is, here at the end, that each of us who have followed you are probably much like Helen’s wonderful post of yesterday, pondering for that one expression to reveal to our private selves and thoughts what your bringing us along on your wonderful journey has meant. I think I like her word best. Pretty well says it.<br /><br /> Young Jo and I have so much enjoyed your journey. Though only four weeks back, our chance meeting in Spearfish Canyon seems a lifetime ago, perhaps because you’ve put a lifetime into them!! I still marvel at the incredible things that come from the most innocent and chance crossing of paths with strangers. In those brief few weeks since, you’ve covered maybe 2,700 miles through some brutal winds and terrain. You never, ever gave up, because, guess what, Luigi, it isn’t within your bright spirit to do so.<br /><br /> Yep, Helen had the right word, yesterday, today, for all the tomorrows.<br /><br /> Luigi, as life goes, it seems unlikely that our paths will cross again. Thank you for bringing us along with you on what was truly a spectacular trip, for your selflessness to bring awareness to the Rwanda Water Project, and with it Young Jo and I will always remember you. Please go in safety and health and goodness into your future. The very, very best to you, our friend, in all endeavors of life.<br /><br />Bill & Young JoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9022149224975459657.post-79517762151633557832013-09-13T14:42:56.622-04:002013-09-13T14:42:56.622-04:00E' finito il tuo viaggio nello spazio, nei luo...E' finito il tuo viaggio nello spazio, nei luoghi, nella mente, una dura "avventura" durata 37 giorni. Io ho potuto leggerne troppo pochi di questi incredibili racconti. Mi mancherà moltissimo questo appuntamento giornaliero in cui stavo un po' anche in tua compagnia. Bravo e ora goditi questi momenti irripetibili.

Although my aunt warned me that he would get me in trouble, I could hear a new call and see a new horizon, and believe it at my young age; and a little bit of trouble or even Dean’s eventual rejection of me as a buddy, putting me down, as he would later, on starving sidewalks and sickbeds - what did it matter? I was a young writer and I wanted to take off.<br /> Somewhere along the line I knew there’d be girls, visions, everything; somewhere along the line the pearl would be handed to me."<br /><br />Congratulations Luigi, enjoy your pearl!<br />RetoRetohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02449328335084521939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9022149224975459657.post-84839330336186336412013-09-13T08:58:56.123-04:002013-09-13T08:58:56.123-04:00Fantastico Luigi!
