Sleepless in Spain. Another day late blog. Being sick kept me awake most of the night, coughing, etc., so I got very little sleep. The crew left without me as I wanted to try to rest a bit more before heading out. Feeling terrible I wasn’t sure if I would even be able to do it. I headed down to the hotel lobby, and a lady (her name is Jennifer) we met the night before, and is traveling solo was standing there, getting ready to leave so her and I walked together. As we walked, I kept getting text messages from the crew that the climb over the mountains was very difficult, but we had yet to see any hills. Jennifer and I had been talking so much we weren’t paying attention to where we were headed and so when I checked our track on my GPS we had missed our turn and it was quite a ways behind us. Oh no we thought except not in those exact words. We were walking along the coastline and realized we were on the Camino bike path, not the walking path. We soon realized we could continue on that, so that’s what we did, and it was fairly flat all the way. This was the best mistake I have ever made because I had zero energy and going over the mountains would have been extremely difficult. The Camino delivered! Once we caught up to the rest of the gang as they descended the mountain they had a few choice words for how difficult it was. Their view was much better, but they paid the price. Other than that it was a pretty much an uneventful day but beautiful nonetheless. We still have a few members battling with their blisters and I am grabbing drugs at Farmacia to try and get some sleep.

Buen Camino!
