The Walker is VERY tired...thank you sooooo very much to Missy King of "Kountry Girl Salon" and Cristina Lugo of Penn Station Deli & Grill, I bless you for your kindness. Christina Lugo, one of the co-owners, of Penn Station Deli & Grille was kind enough to "comp" our VERY delightful meal that evening. One of the outstanding experiences of seeing North America from "ground-level" are the people that I meet. We are all just "regular folks". No "red" or "blue" just nice local people. Over the years I have done my share of "giving" and on this trip the "bread" that I have "cast upon the waters" has come back to me, ten-fold. What goes around comes around. All seven billion of us doing small, or large, kindnesses to each other, perhaps we really can beat those swords into plough-shares.
The numbers for the day: 24.9 miles (40.1613 km's), 50,194 steps with nothing found.
Hi, Art. I just read about you in the NY Times and wanted to wish you well. I hope you had a good night's sleep. When you do you expect to get to Key West? My husband and I will be there April 11-14. If you arrive then, we will definitely buy you a meal. We're a pair of NJ 50-somethings who also love to walk. Not as ambitious as you, though! God speed. Please dedicate your walk tomorrow for my two nurse co-workers, Virginia Cunningham, who is fighting cancer, and Beth Ohaus, who lost her battle last week.
