By 10:00am, September’s sun gets my attention. By noon, I’ve added a long sleeve white shirt to keep off the sun and flies. By 1:00pm, I’m taking frequent breaks in the rare patches of shade. By 2:00pm, I hoping to be checked into my accommodation, to be showered, to have clothes washed, and to have eat my first real meal of the day. At the end of the day, a swimming pool to soak my mummy-wrapped toes is a real bonus.

Dear Linda,
The little village you were walking through is so neat – reminds me of running through little towns in the Black Forest!
Sincerely,
Bill

Dreadful. Body’s are tricky and require much balance. Bruising? A trip to the ER room sounds awful. How are you today? Glad the golf is good. ~linda
