First day in the Rain (3/25/09)...But still happy

only one computer here so I can't write a detailed entry...

It's been raining since 36 hours ago and supposed to for three more days. I was walking in the clouds quite literally all day yesterday.

To ease any fearful minds, I've met lots of friendly folks already. The hostel I stayed at yesterday was booked with at least 20 other hikers. About 25 people started the same day I did (sunday, march 22nd). 40 started the day before me. These friendly characters range from fresh out of high school to 60+ years old. At this point, it seems 1/5 are women, maybe less. But still, more than I expected.

The hiking has been really awesome. It truly feels awesome and wonderful to be on the trail. And even though I was soaked and cold all day yesterday, I was still as happy as ever. Hopefully other rainy days will be the same. It's inevitable it's gonna rain, so I might as well enjoy it. I always try and think it could be 110 degrees with 100 percent humidity. Give me cold wet and rainy any day :)

I've officially become unaddicted to coffee in just for days. I suppose it was relatively easy because my addiction level was only one cup a day.

That's all I have time for now. Thanks everyone for the happy hiking thoughts. Come visit and hike with me if you can!!!

Aloha!
