A long walk with my son.

Today started off going uphill to O’Cebrio. One of the highest points on the Camino. Then it went down, down and more down. We didn’t go as far as we had been. Walked 14 miles but we went slow today. Overall, I am a slow walker but I had a stomach ache for part of the day. Good thing I had my friend Ailyn keep me company. She is also a slow walker. Patrick is always way ahead of me. Today we made it to Galicia. It is a different region of Spain. Tomorrow, we will make it to Sarria. That is the the section that a lot of people start from. It is the last 100 k of the Camino Frances. In order to get the certificate you have to at least walk that last 100k.
We have basically been walking most of the way with the same 20 or so people. Tonight many were in the same alburgue with us. After eating dinner, we learned a new dice game called 10,000. Was nice to get with a small group and play a game.
One cool thing, there is this guy who has been walking with us who is walking with a blind woman. Tonight he left to go back home but she was determined to finish the Camino. So, there is a group of people who made a schedule and they are being her eyes for three or four hours at a time. Thought that was pretty cool. Most of them have been walking with her for awhile. I didn’t really meet either of them but see them every once in awhile. Funny thing about the Camino. You may see someone and then don’t see them for a bit. Thinking you will never see them again and then they show up.
Well, off to bed. It is 11 pm. Most people are snoring. We are in a bunk room with 8 or so bunks.Читать далее
