\nSo much for today. Vivalavida is currently heading East to reach North Carolina, where I’m gonna leave her in good hands during my stay in Switzerland. She will go through all the US toward East in ten days, nearly 2,200 miles.<\/p>\n

Thus, updates will likely space themselves out before they stop in March, you will not hold it against me…<\/p>\n

ay tuned for some pictures of this crossing coming soon… \ud83d\ude09
