Camino del Norte

This has become a different day than we had planned. It's 10:30 in the morning and we haven't left our accommodations yet because of the weather. Pounding rain and strong winds. The possibility of flash flooding and falling tree limbs were the deciding factors. Everyone else here is also waiting it out. Electricity has been off and on. Hopefully this afternoon will be better, so we changed tonight's accommodations so we didn't have as far to walk. It will add some distance tomorrow, but that was a short day anyway. Everything worked perfectly: open room where we needed it, the ability to cancel our booked room, and even the ability to have my pack transport changed just as the driver was arriving to pick it up. Plus, someone to do all this in Spanish for us!

(Later) We stayed at our B&B until after 11:00 and then walked for 10.8 miles, much of it in the rain. We are so glad we waited out the major part of the storm. We passed downed trees limbs, lots of debris, and some angry, rushing water.

Tomorrow is our LAST DAY OF WALKING!!! We think we have about 10 miles to Santiago de Compostela. We may even arrive without rain. 🙄 We are excited to be almost done!

Now that our trip is almost over, I'm including some pictures of my toes. (Now that it's too late for anyone to fuss at me!) Moriah said I need to include a note that says "Graphic photos! Use parental discretion."Weiterlesen
