Zion Epis. Church hostel, Manchester Center VT
There are plenty of mornings one wakes up blurry. Not (necessarily) because of the night before -- bar hopping was more the exception than the rule for hikers. Just waking up, it took a minute or two for the body to get working. Legs were stiff and sore, needed love and massage with a bit of stretching. Back and neck were sore from sleeping on the hard floor, 'though the pad helped. Eyes just needed a bit of use to get going. Here's the interior of the church hostel room. Not much different than my brain registered early on.
