9/14

Woke up to some rainy weather this morning that faded off to mist as the day went on.  We walked 20 miles to Tosantos.  Around 10ish we stopped at a cafe for a second breakfast, I had an exellant egg and potato sandwich.  For lunch we stopped at a nice restaurant and had some amazing soup and coffee.  For dinner I am having cream of zucchini soup, rabbit stew, and a salad.
