Zero Day

August 5: Subaru and I went down to the breakfast at 8 am, as that is the time  posted on the door for the starte of breakfast. We arrived as the other hikiers, having already eaten, were heading out the door. Hmmm. I guess the sign on the door was wrong. Oh well. We had a nice breakfast and headed upstairs to organize our packs and head out. Then my stomache started acting up. Feeling nauseous and crampy is no way to hit the trail. We decided to spend the day at the Mountain Meadowns Lodge.
I immediately went back to bed for an hour or so, and woke up feeling miraculously completely better. maybe it was my body's way of letting me know that it wanted to enjoy the ammenities of the lodge. So after my morning nap, I went down and used the hot tub, which was actually more of a warm tub. We asked the owner, Bill, if there was a place to go for lunch, and walked through the woods into town to a deli for sandwhiches and for dinner, as there was no dinner service that night at the lodge. And since eating is such strenuous work, we came back for another nap.
In the afternoon, I soaked my feet in the pool for a while. It was a tad too shilly to go swimming, but the cold water fetl great on my swollen feet. We walked the grounds and looked at the animals and strolled by the lake and then came in for our deli dinner. We watched the sunset through the big picture window and then watched Field of Dreams on the DVD player before retiring early. Good day. Feeling better, rested, and refreshed.
