“It’s not the years, it’s the mileage” as Indiana Jones once said. These shoes have been all over the world.
They’ve stood overlooking the Pacific Ocean from San Francisco and overlooking Qinghai Lake at the center of Eurasia. They’ve walked the Freedom Trail in Boston and along different parts of the Silk Road. They’ve visited Mount Rushmore and the terracotta warriors of Xi’an. They’ve hiked through snow in New Zealand and forests in Japan. They’ve stood on ancient Roman and Chinese ruins alike. They’ve trekked to the very base of Everest.
And now their watch is ended.
