Note to self, rest when your body needs it. My foot felt better from coming in and staying off of it for the rest of the day. I walked much easier today. I rested when I needed to, drank more water, and enjoyed the day.
Galacia is a region of hills. I climbed, descended, climbed, and descended until the final 4 miles.
I met a young woman from Ukraine at the top of one climb. She was fixing some bad blisters and I was changing socks. We had a long conversation about her homeland. She had been in Poland working so was safe but it took a long time to convince her mother and sister to join her for safety with her nieces.
The last 3 miles was the most beautiful and easiest hike I have ever had into a city.
Off to late lunch before the restaurants close until 9 pm.
Some nights I have a great deal of trouble sleeping. Last might I made up for my previous sleepless night.
12 miles of walking then 12 hours of sleep.
