I just discovered that some of my blog last night did not get saved or sent :(. The internet here is very iffy, but I'll try again. Here are a few more photos from the priory:

The plumbing really is fascinating. Check it out online if you're interested. I don't have time right now to explain it all. I want you to see how beautiful this place is:

After wandering around the priory for quite awhile, we retraced our path, climbing the fence, nettles and all, found our grouse guides and made our way back to the beautiful Park House B&B, shoes honorably gross and disgusting. After showers and a meal of fantastic roasted tomato soup and penne pasta with roasted vegetables, we were off to bed.
Tuesday morning: We both awoke a bit grumpy and discouraged. A pain here, a rash there, tired and not looking forward to 14 miles of hiking up and down hills today. I really thought by now it would seem a bit easier, but that is not proving to be the case for either of us. I wrote about glutes last night. I hope they don't fail me today. Please keep rooting for us.
Much love, Mary
Bon courage! You can do it! The Abbey looks amazing - I love ruins like that. I hope you were not too tired to enjoy it all. Will you have another rest day? It sounds like you might need one. I'm so impressed at the distances you are covering each day. I'm praying for the weather to be kind to you too. Take care - Jillian
