8/2 The Big G

9.7 hiked today, 1907.2 miles N, 266.8 miles left
The Chapman Inn in Bethel, ME

Today I took the day off of hiking to see a Dr. There is a medical clinic only about 1/2 mile from the hostel and I went there and got in after only about a 5 minute wait. The Dr. was very nice and told me likely it was the hikers most feared fore, gardia. The treatment is fairly easy but first I had to collect samples for him, not a fun process that took most of the day. Walking still hurts my belly a lot and doing the walks to and from the clinic and pharmacy required breaks.
On the up side I just finished a good book, Blow the House Down, which is spy novel that really was a thriller. In part I think it was great as it was written by an ex-spook who's name I can't remember at present but I am sure to look to for more of his books in the future.
Tomorrow I am going to go back to Gorham to recover as the hostel there is much cheaper.
