Estrella

Today we arrived in Estrella. Walking is an adventure in itself- we, as a group, stick together most of the time. Falling back or pulling forward, away from the group, can provide time for quite reflection or even belting out songs that I was practicing on the guitar. It's amazing to realize that although hundreds of people are walking the Camino, you can still find moments of quite solitude. It has also been amazing to meet people from all over the world, some from our neck of the woods, and so many teachers! We had dinner with Elaine from Scotland, Martin from Germany, and Connie from Sacramento. Francesca from Italy and I shared stories on the trail, and Marshall from Willows, CA chased after our group to tell us we had taken a wrong turn! The towns people are so friendly, willing to offer directions, or just yell, Buen Camino! as we talk by. Tomorrow, we are trying to get an earlier start, (6 am), so we can arrive in Los Arcos before the forecasted thunderstorm that is supposed to begin at 2 pm. Either way, we are prepared for what ever the weather brings. Time for sleep!Read more
