Meaningful Moment
Touchdown at Newark international airport, signifying 277 mi hike
through Spain, starting in Barcelona and ending in Muxia. Of course with the big train ride in the middle, lol.
Random Thought of the Day
Travel from west to east (US to Spain) is easier for me. The typical flight is an overnighter, and I arrive in Spain around 6:00 or 7:00 or 8:00 am. I can sleep on the plane, even tho' slightly uncomfortable. When I land in Spain, I am off-kilter, because my body is six hours behind the local time zone. But I've had some sleep.
Travel from east to west (Spain to US) is much harder. The typical flight is during the day. I can't sleep as I am not remotely tired. So when I land in the US, my body says it is six hours later than the local time zone. When that difference catches up, I become almost unfunctional in the immediate aftermath and need up to a week for my body to re-sync to the local time zone.
