Nani, you were a good man. I celebrate you, even as you rest.
I did OUR trip to Morocco, and Europe too. And I attended the Rugby World cup - remembering how you never missed global sporting events.
The journey was epic. Never the same without you though.

Interesting meet ups, unplanned hikes and much more along the way.
The ice capped peaks became more as I ventures North. Waterfalls coming directly from melting Glacier, watching phenomenal stuff right in front of my eyes.
