Night falls

They say it gets cold in the desert when the sun goes down....
They claim its harsh....
A chill that sets in your bones after a long day of being warmed by the sun....
Ive been patiently waiting for the air to cool....
To no longer be subject to the abuse of the desert sun...
As I slowly went round and round...
To lose the swelling in my now sausage like fingers....
As I listened to the chatter of my new 15 year old best friend....
Learning all the twists... faults... and peaks of grand theft auto 5 I prayed for the cool....
And as I now sit here giving my feet the much needed break they have been asking for I find myself longing...
Once again....
for that glorious sun....
Day 1...
8 hours in...
22 miles... tedious. ..foot bruising miles....
28 more to go before I embrace the next 24 hours....
