Comments on: Sole Brothers http://outofedenwalk.nationalgeographic.com/2013/01/31/sole-brothers/ Dispatches from the Field from Paul Salopek Sat, 18 May 2013 20:03:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.2-alpha By: Desmond Baptiste http://outofedenwalk.nationalgeographic.com/2013/01/31/sole-brothers/#comment-551 Desmond Baptiste Tue, 26 Feb 2013 01:31:39 +0000 http://outofedenwalk.nationalgeographic.com/?p=342#comment-551 The plastic shoes are hard on the toes and on the feet generally. I wore one once and swore never again..

And I ask that the Comments be more analytic rather than Paul-Worshiping.
Especially from the women who ‘are following him’ so diligently.

I am much older than he is, and though not so old that I could not by any means make it to the end, the chances are fewer. Still, I have made a start of it and hope that perhaps when Alex is 16 and I am 66 we can compare notes somehow.

pleased. Some First Americans are now thought to have coast-hopped
south from the Bering Strait by canoe, so you are living right atop
the walk’s route.

cultures, including the Afar. I am interviewing more women, though,
and you’ll be hearing their voices soon.

I have always been interested in the human race and how and why lifestyles differ. I look forward to following your journey. Safe travels!
