Let's Talk Blisters

First a little blister trivia. Did you know that blister fluid is blood plasma?

I normally don't bother draining blisters but this time I declared war and popped five of them. I guess I'm getting soft in my old age but they were affecting how I walked so yeah, I stabbed them. They'll fill up again quickly but at least the plasma will have a place to escape to when I walk on them. Today was fine, except for the blisters of course. Very muddy from yesterday's rain and the guidebook warned that there were two spots that are hard to cross after it rains. I managed the first one stepping from rock to rock but the second was more serious. The book says to backtrack a couple hundred meters and go to the main road but I decided to take off my boots & socks, throw them over and walk barefoot. It was a little over ankle deep and it felt amazing.

So I'm in Zafra now, which is a nice town. It actually might be a city since it has a bull ring. Anyway, since I'm once again blessed with good wifi I'm going to download last nights 'Better Call Saul', get some dinner and them come home and watch the Mets.
