Trip 37 — Jeju and Xiamen Walks

23 July to 10 August 2023

South Korea's Jeju and China's Xiamen are the 15th and 16th 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.
