Every twenty minutes on the Appalachian Trail, Katz and I walked farther than the average American walks in a week. For 93 percent of all trips outside the home, for whatever distance or whatever purpose, Americans now get in a car. On average, the total walking of an American these days – that’s walking of all types: from car to office, from office to car, around the supermarket and shopping malls – adds up to 1.4 miles a week…That’s ridiculous. ~ Bill Bryson, A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail

Love that book!
Yes!!! I laughed all the way through it. Wonderfully fun to read. They’re making a movie of it but I have to say — the trailer looks a bit lame…
Way too many steps for me to even consider, although I would love to have felt the shade and enjoy the beauty. š
My hubby enjoys Bill Bryson. Great pic Julie ..
Thanks Julie. We have both enjoyed reading his books as well.
