So today marks the half-way point. I don´t know how I feel about that. It was a rough start to the day today. The first day that I really felt lathargic, and no motivation to get going. Once I did get started though, the first bit was ok...maybe the first 2km, but after that we were on a 15km path of this rocky gravel road, that was also infested with gnats...or some kind of very small flying bug. I found Tash along the way, and took a break for some food and to shed some clothes as it was getting hot. Started out again, and was having a very hard time keeping my "ZEN" about the bugs. I finally came up with a way to keep myself calm, and the bugs at a distance. I kept my buff in my hand and waved it back and forth infront of my face the whole day! I´ve also been having a lot of pain in the ball of my left foot. Wasn´t as bad today, but still pretty sore. All of those things plus the heat was too much for me today. The only thing keeping me going was the fact that the next town´s albergue had a swimming pool! I arrived here, put my stuff down by my bunk, and headed out back. So lovely to sit in the sun after a dip in a cold pool. For those of you from the Kootenays it was similar temperature to Kootenay Lake. But so lovely after a long hot walk! So, I still stay positive regardless of my negative morning! I´ve walked 20 days and I have 20 more to go. Here´goes!
