Halfway! Sahaguñ

I am laying here with only 2 other ladies in the room and it is so quiet. Last night there were 30 snoring, rolling, talking in their sleep pilgrims in one room. We even have our own toilet and shower! Unbelievable! The building is a converted monastary with Benedictine nuns still at one end. They joined us at mass and I bought hand cream for my dry cracked hands and cookies they made to share at our communal dinner. They were a success.

I'm coming to the end of the Meseta. Today was a windy hot one and I will miss the wide open space that gives me time to think and stretch my legs. I am now walking 14-18 miles a day with a 20 pound pack easily. I have some things to mail out to the end at Leon to lighten my pack a bit.

Thank you for all your prayers and positive comments. They get me through that last hour of the day.Read more
