Some Math

Marie and I were curious how many different ways we traveled and what distances.

Using Google Earth and websites, these are the estimated distances I think we traveled:

Airplanes: 4, 332 miles
Train : 3,200 miles
Buses: 320 miles
Car: 900 miles
Mass/Public: 200 miles (includes Jamaica Buses)
Cabs: 20 miles
Foot: 200 miles

Total distance: ~ 9,172

Earth's circumference is about 25,000 miles. We went approximately 36% the distance.
We traveled through 17 states, 2 countries.
We stayed on 4 futons and fold out couches and 7 beds in 10 people's houses, apartments, and 1 hermitage at a monastery.
I was gone for 43 days, including the entire month of July.

It was a great Journey.

200 miles on foot? Wow. What trails were you on??

Loved the blog about the trip to Mount Jefferson. Rain is a bother, but bugs are much much worse. :)
