Happy 4th of July! My day was not the most patriotic... I woke up at 530, started walking at 6, and just finished walking 8 hrs later at 2. I went about 28k today and it was either straight up as we climbed the mountain or straight down. It was one of the most beautiful days out here on the camino... I thought I was going to freeze this morning because up there at 1600ft it was windy and cold. My shorts were not the ideal outfit of choice but what can ya do? I made a couple of videos today on the mountain that I hope to upload. It was during one I realized it was the 4th and got really excited. My apricots, orange, and peanuts didn't really compare to your cook outs and fireworks. But it's okay. I had something better. I had Neil Diamond's "Coming to America" on repeat for a good amount of time. It was the only America song I had, and it was a GREAT one! Even though today I was without any red, white, or blue, or bbqs, or fireworks, or anything independence day-ish... It was a good 4th. I had a good walk with Denmark and made it to the next checkpoint safely. I just remembered I was in Ghana last year and so I have missed 2 in a row. Remind me next year to try and be home to celebrate. All those Pinterest 4th of July recipes you guys are posting on Facebook look delicious! I used to have GOD BLESS AMERICA in my voicemail until enough people made fun of me. However, it is a favorite holiday of mine and I think it's so important to be thankful for living in such an amazing country. Most importantly, we have amazing men and women who keep is safe and serve this wonderful country to be thankful for. Happy 4th of July everyone!
The picture is not the most patriotic... But it's me walking down the mountain about halfway through the day.
