We crossed continents today! After boys we walked down to the shore and hopped a boat to asia.... wee! wasn't too much different then the european side (indistinguishable) another long walk through neighborhoods, but steeper..... ran into a park that made for fun walking for awhile, i learned the backpacking term "reststep" for when the hill is so steep your back leg can lock and 'rest'? as your front one steps forward.... used it quite a bit. we planned on getting to the top of the hill for a survey to find a particular mosque - but the top was built up, and no view to be found. so we walked down again. hills that disappear like ski slopes disturb me, it was even more disturbing to see an old bent-over lady start to gamely trudge up a hill we could hardly help but run down.... long walk along the shore and that was asia....
