Genoa 2011 |
Lisbon 2015 |
It’s been 15 years since my wife and I walked the streets of Christopher Columbus’s hometown of Genoa and 1 year since I ran through Lisbon, his first stop after making the journey that began the written history of the Caribbean.
Now, on the eve of my departure to Run-the-Caribbean 4 Parkinson’s Disease, while scrambling to finish the last minute preparations that don’t meet the threshold for something-I-can-still-do-after-I-leave-home, I am drawn to some parallels with the history of Columbus’s first voyage that I recently read.
