Recapping Day 2 walk in #Waco ☝️

If you visit Waco, I highly recommend this route: bookstore, Chisholm trail sculptures, road and rail bridges, Baylor (includes Starbucks on campus), Armstrong Browning Library. I recommend more time at #Baylor Welcome Ctr & taking an official campus tour.

Open to DM for deets.

BTW took me 11 posts (44 pics) spread over 6 days to share parts of the 8.8km 6-hr walk. 🫢😅

I walked a mile with Pleasure:
She chatted all the way:
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.
I walked a mile with Sorrow,
And ne'er a word said she;
But, oh! The things 1 learned from her,
When Sorrow walked with me.
ROBERT BROWNING HAMILTON

Too easily impressed; she liked whate'er
She looked on, and her looks went everywhere.
Sir, 't was all one! My favor at her breast,
The dropping of the daylight in the West,
- My Last Duchess by Robert Browning
