Returned home moments ago from a jaunt on the Bold Coast--the perfect end to a wonderful weekend. Now I'll replenish with some Cara comfort food: grilled cheese and tomato soup. I tried out my new trekking poles (which my hiking partner-to-be Ernie recommended) and I have to say they make a world of difference as they relieve quite a bit of the wear and tear on hips, knees and feet. I guess I'm a new man, or about to be a new man, now that I can walk for endless trouble-free miles (perhaps I exaggerate just a tad).
