Did not get this post written yesterday because I (Ron) took ill (flu like symptoms) the night before and did not have the strength to sit and write, especially after a very long day of 18 miles and about 8 hours. The Camino took us inland a bit with Cobblestone roads and more of a forested area. It was a beautiful day but definitely my toughest.

We have only completed 5 days and the people we have met and spoken with has been extraordinary. About eight US states, the UK, Ireland, Scotland, Australia, Slovakia, Ukraine, France, Italy, Austria, Germany and of course Portugal and Spain.  All have been very friendly and nice.

We had one team member (HE asked to remain anonymous) that got lost and after walking a long ways out of his way and arrived at our accommodations almost 2 hours later. He will remain anonymous but I will just say it wasn’t Darrin or I.

We were all hurting at the end of the day, so I purchased Tina a massage while I did a salt soak on my feet while sipping a cold Super Bock (Portuguese beer). We were all tired but had to wait till 7:30 for the restaurants to open. We ate and then I hit the wall. I had been feeling okay all day as I walked, but it finally caught up to me and my flu-like symptoms returned. I went back to the room and crawled in bed only to wake up a few hours later drenched in sweat. Oh no!!! Stay tuned…..

No Pic of the day. We will choose two tomorrow.
