Good Morning, I was looking at some of those roads they are rough…😳 Glad to see you pushed on and now in comfort!!!🙌🏾 [Christopher Robinson]
Viajante Thanks Chris, in a couple days when my feet are back to normal, then comfort for sure. Thank you.
Viajante Throughout your journey, I’ve enjoyed watching the photos of your shoes very much. Your feet, your shoes, your trekking poles (smile), your health, and your motivation and discipline were the physical and mental things you needed the most. Your God served you spiritually and He provided you with the right people, the right albergues, the miracles of life and nature that you saw along the way. I have certainly enjoyed reading your blogs.

Viajante Actually, this reads like it was a very enjoyable day. How wonderful to hear the sounds of bagpipes from afar. (Sigh). I read somewhere that Sarria is where it gets crazy because of so many pilgrims BEGINNING their Camino there. Almost finished!!!!

I can see a rainbow.🎼🎼 Upon my return from Spain, I had a layover in Frankfurt. It had rained and there was the most glorious, full arced, double rainbow. Unfortunately, I did not catch a photo of it.
Viajante Sounds like you had a good day. If you have not already consider adding or changing arch pads to your shoes. Some sort of support, like an ankle and foot wrap may help as well. Vehicle shoe pic, stay mindful. Hang in there Pilgrim you are almost finished! You have been doing Great!

Viajante Congratulations on reaching this milestone day. I was just thinking that, by doing this Camino solo, it is truly YOUR Camino, done your way, and where you see your personality shine and your impact on others, as well as their impact on you. That’s my perspective. But then, again, I am a person who likes “solo,” with a sprinkling of other people on occasion. What are your thoughts on this?
Viajante Thanks Robyn, I am very fortunate that most of the people I have had to do business with was patient, and understanding the language barriers. Had less issue than expected. The Camino has had so many positive effects. Sarria is on the horizon, knowing you set the pace to get there is very cool.
