Bright Malibu Moon
So, how many toe journal titles do you think I can come up with?
AND, I'd like to open up a contest for guessing what was in my 3L bottle (check journal titled 3L for story). Please place your entries in my guestbook. I'm Lion Heart through and through and yet folks are making a strong effort to give me a new trail name. First in the running is 3L (3 liter). The second, Darco. Darco is of course the brand name of my big boot foot. There have even been suggestions of a Darco tattoo.
All joking aside, the seriousness of my toe injury really set in today. Today was the first day since Monday that I could take a shower and get it wet. Not that I can see it all that well, but having all the bandages off helped me understand its continued vulnerability. My toe is fucked up and I can't believe I will be shoving it back into a shoe and hiking 20 mile days soon. Wow!
Had a nice evening drive through the Santa Monica Mountains out to Malibu for dinner on the water. Beautiful sunset my friend, as the moon soon reflected brightly on the rippling ocean.
