This Passover was definitely different from years past.
I think it was the first time in my life I didn't have a single bite of matzah, and honestly, I missed having it. This was also the most challenging Pesach yet (for pretty obvious reasons).
Not only do we eat trail food that we can cook in the wilderness, but we eat KOSHER trail food that we can cook in the wilderness. And for one week in April, we eat KOSHER FOR PASSOVER trail food that we can cook in the wilderness.
I'll just sum that up by saying, "Nom nom nom not easy."
But we did it. And successfully. Not to pat ourselves on the back, but I think it puts it in a little perspective for us. We didn't have the typical luxury of having nice Passover foods and meals this year... instead we had nasty never do I wanna eat this again Passover food.
But at least an Egyptian army wasn't chasing us down to slaughter us (though we were invaded by an army of slugs one night), and I know our God was watching over us as He always does, providing for us and delivering us from trouble, like He did for our people many years ago.
And here we were celebrating an age old tradition as best we could, as thru-hikers on the Appalachian Trail.
That's pretty cool if you ask me.
