Lounging in bed until around 11 just felt right considering how rainy and cold it was outside. It’s rumored someone was eating chips in bed while they were waiting for someone else to get ready to go to breakfast. We made it to the Julian cafe for breakfast right before they stop serving it at 11:30. The servings were enormous, way more than one person should eat, but we did our best.
Once we were full of tasty food we headed to 2foot adventures next door for help with my blisters. The whole crew was super nice! In addition to foot care they have a whole ton of hiker favorites and we did a solid amount of our resupply here. More relaxing was in our future so we headed back to our room to catch up with blog postings and calling parents to check in.
After a couple hours of chilling I decided we needed to visit the Cider Mill and Moms pie. The cider mill had tons of delicious snacks, candies and free cider for hikers. The cider was very tasty. They also happened to be playing none other than Mr. Sunshine on my gawddammed shoulders, John Denver, on the radio there. At Moms we stopped for our free piece of pie and I got a coffee. We needed to go to the market again to finish resupply game but took our pie pieces back to the room so we had enough hands.
The market stop was quick, easy and conveniently located close to the brewery. One last beer before we head back to trail in the morning!
One more visit to 2 foot to sign up for the shuttle back to trail and then we were in for the night. We had some reorganizing of food and gear to do. I also impulse bought a bath bomb from a little shop and wasn’t going to carry that on the trail so a relaxing, steamy bath happened before bed.
