FINALLY a warm, sunny day with no wind! I started my day around 8:15 and walked 17.5 miles and finished up around 2:15, which means I only have 13 miles to walk to tomorrow.
Most of the day today was spent on small quit roads and I enjoyed every single minute of it. Passing farms and through pine forests... I found a house that had been torn down decades ago, and therefore must have been a few decades old before that. I found a coke bottle that looked ancient, but full of mud and frozen water so I let it be. I even had a few miles of dirt road with no cars at all.
After my Walk, Jim took me to Mary's mother's 97th birthday party which turned out to be really nice. Not to many people, but enough to keep it interesting and everyone was super nice. Mary decorated in a ocean theme, and the birthday cake she made from scratch and it was awesome, not too sweet which meant I could eat a lot!
The rest of the night I spent getting ready to finally leave Athens. I spent nearly a week with Jim and his kitty cats and had such a good time. Super relaxing, great company, and good food! Thanks Jim!
