Day 7- To Sansol…we crushed it!

Here is what we have learned so far. Get up early, lighten your load, don’t wear wet socks, don’t lose your sunglasses. We got up early, packed up Agnus and Genevieve (our backpacks) to lighten our load, leaving yet more stuff we thought we needed. Goodbye blanket Joan bought in SJPP, who needs three chargers, a towel or more socks.

We crushed today! So proud of ourselves. We completed 14 miles/23 km and arrived at our final destination the earliest we have ever arrived. It was hot, sweaty, dusty and we were plagued by black flies. Joan sang to me and told me stories anytime we passed an old rock wall. We arrived in Los Arcos had a beer in the main square and smiled. And Joan and I got to FaceTime Kenzie and Fabi and wish Kenzie a Happy Birthday. She has been instrumental in helping as find places to stay as we are too tired to look stuff up.

At our Albergue in Sansol we washed our clothes, had time to update Penguins and just sit a minute. In the last week this afternoon has been the only downtime we have had. No time to journal, have reflective thoughts or contemplate our future. It’s amazing we are off to Lograno in the morning. And Camino friends invited to a Michelin star restaurant for dinner tomorrow night. Buen Camino!Read more
