I thought of describing my Trek experience (possibly using some of the 500 photo's I took in a month of travelling) but I decided instead to recite a poem, written in the bus mid trek, by a fellow trekker (Azza)! So for all of you who went on the Coast to Coast Tour (San Fran to Miami) in 2002 with Alyson as your guide, this is for you!
Trekkin!
The fields were long and awfully sparse
Stephen's asleep along with his (sore) a**e
The van keeps truckin' down Route 66
Alyson at the wheel talkin' 'bout her famous-punch mix
For tonight the punch will be strong
And we have all waited so long
But first we must paint some Cadillac cars
And possibly later hit some clubs and bars
Along the way many ventures were had
But Stephen's lycra shorts... now that was bad
For Bo, she saw her shooting star
And Ellie got a crusty scar
Julia proved she was a roping girl
And when Jen kissed her cowboy, his hair did curl
Along with the trip Aussie boys had scares
Scott with Piranhas, Azza with bears
A dancing squirrel Aaron did meet
While Tuma-boy chipmunk gave Alyson a treat
For Jo had a cliff top stumble
And Scott had a mountain bike tumble
But join the "Scar Brothers" they did not
For Ellie and Aaron topped the lot
Our little Abby, so mild and sweet
The madam at the "Shady Ladies" she wanted to meet
For Regina, a meeting with cowboy Greg
But made it quite clear, she'd never take him to bed!
A 5 finger discount on honey for Nibs
But none of that going on for Sibs
For Clarissa, our heavy metal queen
A new hole awaits her in New Orleans
In New Orleans the girls are quite keen
For getting their beads, they must be obscene
But leave it to the boys, who know their stuff
For Beer and Boobs, they just can't get enough!
So that's our adventure..
Albeit so far...
We'll keep you updated
On kisses and scars!
Thanks for the time of my life guys! Hope you're all healthy and happy.
