I slept so absolutely horribly last night. I woke up at 2:40 and it was pouring rain. I was trying to fall back to sleep as quickly as possible, but I was feeling uneasy and just couldn't shut off my mind. I made up for the poor sleep during the night and slept in until almost 8 this morning :) I sat outside of my tent facing the pond and ate one of the delicious Cinnabon honey buns that Bomber sent to me. I again didn't feel much like hiking, but knowing that the terrain would be pretty easy helped to get me moving. I have truly been appreciating the beauty of Maine recently- taking it so slowly has its benefits! I spent 2 hours on a sand beach today and just soaked it up. Dirty, Mosey, and Faith took the break with me too and they found so many leeches in the water! It was pretty cool to stand in the water and just watch the leeches move around.

I did have a point during the day when I just wanted to book it. It started to pour rain when I was hiking beside a pond and I was hustling in order to get out of the open sky and underneath of some trees. Mosey was right in front of me and he kept stopping to look at how beautiful the rain looked as it was falling on the pond. I let out a huff each time he stopped and then we just started laughing about how much I wanted to find shelter and his literally standing in the way haha.
I thought a lot about my dad today. I had a dream right after he died in which we were walking down a wide trail with trees flowing up on either side in the autumn. We were holding hands and he was comforting me. I have never been to the place that I dreamed of, but I know that I will find it on the trail. It was a cool thought today :)
Sleeping early tonight!
