Hiking at 74

Mr American Tourist (the names' Ryan) didn't need much introduction once he started talking. Slow in pace but quick in understanding, somehow he managed to get along quite smoothly. When I asked what he used to do back home he said he was an Astrophysicists. So I changed the topic before demonstrating my complete ignorance about the subject.
Born and brought up in Chicago he tend to hide his urban life behind his relaxed posture and the jungle attire with a jungle cap bearing Ranthambore Sanctuary on it. At 74 he still managed to climb till the base camp of Mt. Everest in Nepal. I wonder what brought him to this tiny town on a tiny mountain. Then again, love has no boundaries. And his love for hiking must have dragged him here too.
