Hot Springs

Sunday morning we were on our way by 7:30. We were planning on going into Hot Springs and loading up on food, doing laundry, and getting a shower. We arrived at the tiny little town around 1:00. The town was small enough that we could just walk around to all the different places we needed to go. First off we loaded up on food at the dollar store. We then walked down to the laundromat and as we were waiting for our clothes to wash we quickly consumed a pack of cold hotdogs, a pack of string cheese, and a quart of ice cream. It was absolutely delicious. It was strange through, after we were finished eating we were satisfied, but both felt as though we could still eat more. I never thought that I would be able to eat so much food! After our laundry was done we walked down to a campsite and asked if we could use their showers. For five dollars we were both able  shower and smell so much better! By this time is was 4:00. We decided we would try to get in a few more miles. We went another six, making a total of 19 for the day. Monday morning we got up and decided that since we had a longer day on Sunday we would only aim for 14 miles, especially since it was supposed to rain all day. We walked 14 miles in beautiful weather and made it to a shelter around 2:00 where we ate lunch. As we were eating in the shelter it started pouring! It rained really hard for about ten minutes and then the sun came out. Then it rained really hard for another ten minutes and then the sun came out again. Hoping that it wouldn't start raining again we decided to get a few more miles in since it was so early in the day. We walked another 6.5 miles in beautiful weather and didn't get rained on once!  Thank you Jesus for timing the rain perfectly for us!
