Pic of the day

Today we got an earlier start and the weather was quite cool, in the 50’s. Our route took us away from the coastline some today so we had a bit of everything, corn fields, small towns and villages, pine trees and bamboo. Saw more pilgrims today and as we move towards Santiago we expect to keep seeing more. What I had plotted for our course was supposed to be 15 1/2 miles and we ended up over 17, over 7 hours including food and drink stops. We have 1 team member (Dave) with a sore knee and another (Darrin) with blisters. I asked Darrin along the way “How is your blister” and he said, “Which one?” Me:,”Oh, you have more than one? ” Darrin: “Every toe” Me: “How big are they?” Darrin: “It depends on which toe”🤣

Staying at a nice Hotel tonight with a swimming pool and the water was very cold which felt great on the feet. Drank some beer and wine, had some dinner and it’s time for bed.

Buen Camino!

Knee repair
Always time for ice cream
…..and beer

    The ocean was very special, I also love the alter. I wondered what I was going to do today, I spent it looking at your great photos. Jim is in San Diego at a tax seminar. hugs donna
