Trip 43 — Réunion Walk

25 October to 7 November 2024

Réunion, a French territory in the Indian Ocean, is the 23rd of the 26 Abecedarian Walks, my endeavor to walk around islands whose names begin with each of the letters of the alphabet.

Each "day" below corresponds to a walking day. Occasionally I took a day off from walking, and experiences from those days are incorporated into the previous or the following walking day's account.

In addition to these verbal accounts are musings, photos, and videos on Instagram and Twitter.
