Today kicked our behinds!! We thought we were going on a 12 mile walk but it was a walk and an incredibly hard hike. Last night Scott showed me the path on our walking tour app. It showed elevation changes of about 200 feet so I thought no big deal. We did 600 in Cinque Terra so piece of cake... right?!

During one really hard climb I stopped and said to Scott, "What is wrong with me? I'm such a wimp. 200 feet should be an easy climb?" He looked really puzzled and said, "200 feet?" I said, " Yea, the app showed 200 feet." He chuckled and said, "The app is in meters, it's over 600 feet!"

All total we went down about 1000 feet and climbed about 1400 feet. I found mental and physical reserves that I didn't know existed. It was hard but so beautiful! It was worth it... not just for the beauty I saw but for what I learned I could do. And there was a sweet, sweet God story along the way but I'll save it for another day, I need sleep... 9 more miles tomorrow!
