Daily Reflections (challenges, insights, musings):
Today was a light day in terms of distance but heavy on experiences. I had dinner with fellow hikers Cricket and Dog Treats.
Argentina clinched the championship, and seeing Messi cry his heart out after injury was very sad. The man just wants to play, always. We won in the end, a bittersweet victory.
I found myself at Scapegoat Eatery not once, but three times today.
The trail community is diverse. Some people drink and do drugs as if they’re escaping something. It doesn’t seem enjoyable, just a temporary reprieve. The locals spend a lot of money on booze and gambling, both seeming equally futile. I hope I don’t end up in that cycle.
