1/2/2006 - A shout out to "Katie"
One of the most enjoyable aspects of my journey has been the very occasional run-ins with strangers (see: friends I haven't yet met). The most recent is Katie, who stopped by to inform me that I missed one of Saratoga Springs' great features -- the springs.
Pretty much from its inception, legend has had it that the springs here contain medicinal powers. For the Native Americans who lived here, the valley was place of peace. For those who later moved here, it has become a place of R&R. As I am about to embark in my first walking injury, I shall sorely miss the chance to have partaken of these healing waters, but for now I am grateful to have run into Katie.
Katie also informs me that the correct term is "Saratogian." As a Cantergbridgian (and former Princetonian) I can certainly get behind that.
20,800 gregarious steps today. Cheers,
