Monday May 23 Day 83

I lied to all of us all, including myself. I said I was done but I am not. There is one segment of trail that I have passed over several times that needs to be taped a second time. It is a highly improved connection between a couple of major trails. I have skipped it because it is not a very interesting trail due to all the improvements. Fortunately it is less than half way down the hill so it. Coming back up will not take much effort. The weather is beautiful today and the clouds should not start to gather until after I am done.

Well, the clouds are smarter than I am (not that is saying much). At noon there were no clouds and by 1 pm they were all over everywhere. I figured that they were just fooling with me so i took off to do my taping. That was the longest walk for absolutely nothing I have taken in my entire time here in India. I also found out that my energy reserves are very limited. I basically collapsed when I got back home.

I started working on editing my memories manuscript before lunch today. I am making progress but not too much. I need to get all the corrections I found when reading through the manuscript in to the computer. I should get it done in the morning since I am through with my logging.

The temperature today is supposed to be 95 degrees in the main bazaar or Mall. Up on top of the hill, my room has yet to hit 70 degrees though it is pushing that today. The temperature difference in 2,000 feet of elevation is interesting. When you go out in the sun it is very warm but we nedd to sleep under a light quilt.
