When someone innocently asks us on the phone 'how's your trip going?' or 'how's your trip been so far?', unbeknown to them, they throw us into quite a quandary, because where do you even begin answering a question like that?? We, of course, usually opt for the standard and expected 'really great, thanks' but this, naturally, does not even scratch the surface of how we feel about the, at times, unimaginably beautiful scenery we have encountered or the inspiration...
