Loved this! The line “but it turned out to be just ordinary life in another setting—here, too, you could argue with your partner while passing beneath giant ferns” is so true. I’ve lived in so many different places and have seen it demonstrated a thousand ways in my own life, going through hard things in magical places or wonderful things in places I didn’t want to be. Your writing is lovely!

I loved your description of the end of your hike and your reflection of it. It makes me wonder if it is how you experience most endings. Like Irene, I enjoy your candidness. Thank you for sharing!
