I spent most all of today completely relaxing in my hotel room. I started the day with a short walking trip to the nearby IHOP for some strawberry banana pancakes and then to the grocery store across the street to buy food for the rest of the day and tomorrow morning, as well as trail food for the next leg of the journey back on the trail. I was back to my 65 degree room by noon though and I stayed there the rest of the day. I had been planning on going to see a movie but HBO had a good lineup, better than anything at the theatre right now it looked to me, so I stayed and watched Battleship, then Forest Gump, then TED. Battleship was surprisingly good in true summer movie style; Forest Gump is a classic of course, and fitting for mid thru hike viewing; movies like TED usually aren’t my thing but it was well written and made me laugh a bit. Just a sweet day of air conditioning, an awesome bed, good food, and real television. Already missing the trail though, it’s nice to recharge, but eager to get back at it.
