It was much needed sleep.

I coud easily sleep some more but coffee is being made.

Laurel was at the door when I woke up: he ate with great appetite.

I am following the walk for peace, buddhist monks walking 2,300 miles to raise awareness about peace in the states. They have a cute dog: aloka.

I dont understand it but the monks often walk barefeet on pavement....I wonder if they would accept a rich man donation to buy each of them hiking boots.

Walking barefeet on pavement destroys your feet. I have done it when ill.

In the snow. The result was nasty wound on the sole of my feet. These monks need shoes! Wont some rich man buy them the shoes?
