Sahagun - Meseta

I was excited to walk away from Ledigos toward Sahagún.

I knew Leon a bigger city was getting closer! Possibly more food options.

As I started my walk. It was hot. I could tell my body was toast.
I was mentally pumped up to rock it and the old body wasn’t having it. Oh well 🤷‍♀️

The Pharmacy here has great ointment to put on the joints to get the body moving. The Incrediwear knee sleeve is great also.

Ultimately, I knew I needed some rest days.

My shin splints weren’t going away and I could feel the tendons in my ankle swelling which made it more difficult to walk with a steady flow.

On the way to Sahagun. We reached the half way point marker. The statues look like they belong in an Indian Jones movie.

The day was hot which made me sweat which had me purging salt and chapping my lips. I take hydration/salt tablets to get my body back feeling good.

I also found what looks kinda like bunkers. They call them Bodegas. They are over 500 years old. It’s Where the families that owned the wine vineyards would keep their wine, meat, supplies and sometime sleep their kids safe from the winter cold. Short video attached.

While walking I met up with a Camino friend Cheryl from San Francisco - Philippine born. She told me how she remembers being a baby in the jungle. Imagine being raised in a Jungle and then working in San Francisco with a big corporation.

I find myself thinking about what it took her family to get from there to here.

Welp, my ass was tired, like you haven’t heard that before!

I knew I needed three rest days.

I ate a massive cheeseburger in Sahagun.

The next morning, we took the train to Leon for some rest days.💜😇 yasssss! 🙌Read more
