We tried to sleep in, but it’s just not possible when our bodies are dialed into rising at 6:30. We did make it until almost 7 with Bunny being the last up. Jeff had told us that two could stay in the house where they were and two had to move to the overflow room in the barn. I knew I was first out since I was the youngest (I still haven’t gotten used to eating at the adult table at Thanksgiving and Christmas) but there were questions as to who would be exiled with me. Bunny volunteered to go with me.
There was a good movie, “Journey,” that we watched about the AT before heading into town for lunch. It really revived us and made us want to hike more (good thing since we’ve still got 540 miles to go). It was fun to see some people we know on the big screen. The movie was made just 2 years ago.
After the movie, we got Duffie to take us to town so we could get lunch at Cilantros. We swung back by the outfitter to get some advice about some foot issues I’ve been having. My right heel has been bothering me after 8-10 miles of walking. He was a little nicer than Bunny, but, basically said the same thing—“suck it up, buttercup. Rub your foot a little and stretch.”
Sassy and Bunny went back to the grocery store to buy steaks and fixings for supper. When we got back to the hostel, Sassy and Bear made supper while I worked my fingers to bone blogging. Overall, we had an enjoyable, laid back day off of hiking. After a zero day, we are usually ready to get back on the trail. I just wish Bunny would quit saying she wants to be done.
