vermont day 5



Today i realized my feet were yelling at me. 20 miles of hiking in 4 days was way more than what they were used to-especially in those awful hiking boots. So, it was a quasi down day. I did an alternate walk today..an hour around Killington, which will always involve hills. Felt that was adequate and could do that with sandals on. However do you remember the woman who came in a few days ago and had a meltdown? Guess who joined on the walk? Oh joy. I was also joined by the healthy cooking woman-little spacey, but good hearted and always looking for her Zen. Fortunately, it was buffered by June, another spa attendee who I took a quick liking to. Small business owner in New Hampshire-very grounded and was known to break free of the compound and do her own thing-lobster dinner (no butter), cruising the mountains, whatever moved her. Loved her spirit. The meltdown woman I have come to find out, is from Manhattan and probably wound too tight. Also admitted often she was a 5 star kinda gal..have NO clue why she came to go hiking in the mountains.
Afternoon Karen and I cruised Vermont. We touched on all things Vermont-cheese, maple syrup, and covered bridges. Great day..this is a beautiful state...
Lunch: butternut squash soup with dried cherries; salad, and pizza on pita bread. Dinner was grilled salmon, brown rice, and snow peas and zucchini. Delish.
One more day :-( One more hike. And two days away from a glass of wine.
