Now I can say I’ve been to Mexico. This is the hole in the wall you can stick your hand through to say such nonsense.
Here we are at the monument, yes that is the double wall between us and Mexico. 
I am amazed at the weather (it rained the first 2 days), the views, the people, the list goes on and on. I’m also amazed at the people that blog on an ongoing basis, my hat is off to those folks! I’m going to do my best to keep up when all I can think about is walking, eating and sleeping! Hopefully it will get better, the walk is so zen, outside of the pain.
Man oh man! I’ve hiked over 70 miles in 5 days. I am taking a Nero (nearly zero miles) day today. I did about 6 miles today but my feet said NO to another day.
Soooo I find myself in Julian, CA and the first place I went was Mom’s Pies. They offer PCT hikers a free slice of pie ala mode and a free beverage. I am mailing a few things home and ditching things in the hiker boxes where others can pick them up to use. Anything to lighten up. We have 5 hikers to a room tonight to share the cost. I am planning on doing some laundry in the tub as I shower tonight…
I stopped in at Julian Beer Co and got them to make me the calzone I was craving. 
I will be uploading more photos to my Facebook as it just seems more efficient to upload.
Much love from the trail. I will try to add more soon.
