Five years ago today was my first documented walk. I had been wondering if a modern sedentary human being could walk the distance between Downtown Los Angeles and Hollywood, for example. So I tried it and found out yes, it's quite possible, and even enjoyable. Today I walked the same route to commemorate it. This is how it all began five years ago...
