According to Martin it is the wrong shoes and wrong socks my dear.
ПутешественникLikely. But I’m committed. And I’m wearing two pairs of wool socks. One with toes and one without to keep from getting toe blisters. Tomorrow I start with Vaseline all over them. But I shall keep going! We shall see what tomorrow brings.
ПутешественникEnjoy your night and you have ways to go yet. How’s Spencer doing btw?

Only 9.7 mls today. But hard ones. Lots of walking on sand. Gorgeous day. Perfect weather. Funny how my backpack feels heavier everyday and if anything it should be getting lighter as things are usedЧитать далее
ПутешественникI think I could do the walking, but carrying a backpack would be the hardest thing for me to do.
ПутешественникThe back pack is the hard part. It’s such a burden on your bones. But I think it’s good exercise. That’s what I tell myself.
ПутешественникHave someone make sure it’s fitted correctly. It made a huge difference for me! Bom Camino!
Путешественник¡Bom Caminho!
ПутешественникExcited for you, have a Great time!
ПутешественникHave a great trip Lori! I’m glad I can follow your steps during Camino😊
