John Lam: Amazed and Awe Struck

It is strange now that I am back from the WCT and it seems so distance. Every time I see the mountains, trees and water, I am reminded of that wonderful week in Sept on the WCT. There were so many amazing wonders and unique experiences that week.

It has to be noted that I DO NOT miss the tidal flush toilets!

All the comforts of life and home are not taken for granted anymore. The loving company of my Family, along with a delicious Chinese dinners, are more appreciated (even though the food was fabulous on the trip).

To my fellow IBD Adventure Trekkers, a heartfelt thank you, for making that 8 day journey one of the most memorable trips of my life. The joy of the endless banter, the often interesting conversations and notions shared (for the most part) were priceless. Our professional guides Mark and Bill did a great job of keeping us all safe, sane, well fed and offered us countless tips, which enriched my sense of achievement in completing the trail with no “major” issues. Thank you both for sharing trail wisdom, fantastic culinary skills and the gift of your friendship.

Most of all, I was able to experience the awe of God’s majesty in all the trees, cliffs, rock formations, animals and the endless waves of the tide coming and going. One of my top memories was the only clear night and seeing the starry sky. It really truly made me think, not only about how small I am, but how great He is. The wonder of the 4 color leaf, and the almost perfect circles in the rocks on the shelf along the beach leave me absolutely speechless. To think that He who created all this cares for me!

WOW.

I am fortunate to have been able to experience this especially with such a fun, loving, caring group of people.
