lyrics

35 and 50 liters; 40 pounds: 5 days of clothing, plastic bags surrounding knowing this is all we’ll have for 21 days. 3 weeks we spent backpacking on the landmass past the Atlantic on 2 weeks of planning. You could say we were unprepared, but we met some friends there; some new, some old, all generous and eternally helpful. Then we rode the rails from Germany, Belgium, Switzerland to Italy. We walked miles of mosaic floors, cobblestone streets; and opened doors and bottles. We ate in restaurants or on the street or in grocery stores. We carried our hopes and homes, we packed our lives and brought back more.
