[QUOTE="Deleted member 39850, post: 678767"] You have grasped the nuances perfectly. I would lie down on tracks for this person. And you haven’t even heard of what a joy he is to travel with because he’s so insightful and curious... He noticed things in France that I had overlooked in three trips, including a long residency there. He made observations in Italy about the foundations of “Western civilization” that left me gobsmacked... and in Barcelona he declared that Gaudi could be both madman AND genius, not either/or. He’s also certain that the cheap materials being used to complete the Sagrada Familia are sacrilege; would rather see it fall to dust than be finished with concrete where alabaster had been called for. Ther only place he’s ever been a toad was Dublin, which felt too familiar to him to be worth the trip at the time. I was ready to make him turn in his citizenship!!! The joy of watching his joy unfold.... if that has to be at night, so be it. Fair point about my own rhythms— I will likely take melatonin with me to help, but I’m not really a day person either. I get up earlier than when I was young, but I used to be able to clutch a mattress until 2pm every day, and work until 4 or 5 in the morning. I hadn’t really thought of a tent... but it’s come up twice now in the thread, and I can probably make *him* carry it. :) I know that when Dear Spouse went on Camino this past year he often napped in the rest areas... would find a bench, take off his boots and crash for a while. I think we could perhaps do that a little too...? I will give thought to the issue of those who might stop to see why people are walking at such an odd hour. Forewarned is forearmed (with a strategy...) Thank you for your kindness and your practical advice. [/QUOTE]
