I have just gotten back from expo and I have to say I was of the great experiences of my life. I walked about 8 kilometres a day for two days, had the scale a wall of sand and had to sleep in a small tent with three people. But it was so amazing to be doing it with the people I now consider family. Before expo the team bickered and argued while doing small activities but at expo everyone had their roles and everyone knew what they had to do so we just clicked as a team. We gave each other space when needed and supported them when they needed. Many people were pushed to their limits both physically and mentally, all they wanted to do was give up but they kept going strong. I believe I have gotten closer with the boys from Portland, sharing a tent and hearing about what each other have been through and our own separate experiences just opened up the relationship immensely. I am so happy to be facing the rest of the experience with a group like this and I can't wait for the next expo.
