Today we had a day of varied terrain, the thing that really bothers us both are the rocks on the path. They have been killing our feet! We very rarely have a smooth dirt path the walk on. The rocks are a blessing and curse here on the Camino. When it rains they keep the path from eroding and turning to mud; but when it's dry all we can do is curse at the rocks as they hurt the bottom of our feet.
Last year Lee did a fundraiser for a group called Family Matters in San Diego. For her birthday month (October) she walked 290 miles in 30 days. We all thought she was SuperWoman for doing that. This year she topped that! It's the end of the month and this October she has walked 443 miles! Her personal best!
Palas de Rei has a population of about 3,600 mostly engaged in the dairy industry and the well known Ulloa cheese. I doubt if we'll get out much tonight to check out the town, too tired for site seeing. We are meeting some friends for dinner in the restaurant located right here in our hotel. Tomorrow we are headed to Arzua...and the forecast is calling for rain from here to Santiago. Great!
Absolutely positively amazing!!! What a life changing incredible journey! I can't imagine all of the thoughts and experiences every step of the way!!!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to share a quote I just read, "If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you." May you be changed for good by all these wonderful experiences.
