guilt-free

Day 107 ~ miles 1735.9 - 1759

One of the best things about long-distance hiking is the food.  When's the last time you sat down to eat an entire pizza?  Maybe never?  Even better, we can eat an entire pizza without feeling bad about it, and follow it up with a pint of ice cream if we'd like.  And of course it would be accompanied by a soda.  Other town staple foods include burgers, milkshakes, fries, potato chips. 

Town stops are so highly anticipated, mostly due to food.  Leading up to town stops, much conversation is centered around food.  What are you craving? Where are you going to eat in town?  Having a smart phone affords us the luxury of scoping out reviews and menus online, so we can be sure to go to the best restaurant and get the best value.  But then often times, there's only one or two restaurants in town, which mAkes it easy.  We usually don't complain about food; our standards are lowered by extreme hunger and we are mostly pretty easy to please.

We eat as many candy bars as we want every day.  And Little Debbies and cheap breakfast pastries and chips and soo many M&M's, all varieties.  We just have to remember to brush our teeth.  It will be a sad, sad day when our guilt free eating comes to an end.
