Start: Inn at Iron Masters, Salisbury, CT
So the storms were not nearly as bad as they predicted in this area last night. I was happy to be in town though. I was in pain with my foot for most of the night. The worst pain yet and I wasn't even walking! This morning I decided it was time to go to the doctor. The blisters that are all over my right pinkie toe are infected! The doctor gave me some antibiotics and asked, "Are you planning to continue this hike?" The obvious answer was, "Yes !" He smirked, obviously knowing it would take more than a few infected blisters to take an AT hiker off the trail, and said, "You need to rest these feet for a few days." I was feeling a bit frustrated by this, but hopeful that the few days rest and the toe sock liners with the new boots will make for a pain free second half of our trip. Once we got back to the hotel, we relaxed for a bit until the BEST part of the day. My best friend, Christina, and her husband, Chris, came to visit us! As soon as she got out of the car, the first thing I noticed was how "Incredible" (that's the name of the perfume I wear at home and she had it on) she smelled!! The four of us and No Whistle went to dinner at the Black Rabbit. It was amazing to spend time with Chris and Christina! Thanks for coming to visit us you two!
Tomorrow, we will be going into Great Barrington, MA to stay while I heal. As beautiful as northwestern Connecticut is, it is really expensive. Great Barrington has less expensive hotel rooms and more things in town. We will take a taxi back to Falls Village to hike, hopefully on Monday.
End: Inn at Iron Masters, Salisbury, CT
Peace Be The Journey
