RejsendeAleve cream will help. I use it on numerous areas where I experienced pain i.e. my calf my lower back the bottom of my feet …. so I would think it would work on your ankles. If you can’t find it, I’m sure other creams could help relieve some of the pain.

RejsendeHi, I read you are 1/2 way. That's Awesome👏🏽 From what I read one of your pilgrims had to go back to Italy. I'm glad she was able to be inspirational. I sure it will serve you well as you continue. How tickled was Zoe to see her ZOE car namesake? Continue to stay motivated and mindful. You look like you've slim down a lot! You look healthy ... The pictures have been amazingly breathtaking. Spain 🇪🇸 is beautiful ... I'm learning a lot by way of your Camino. Again, thanks for sharing. I am looking forward to hearing a lot more about it... Keep it going... 👟👟👟👟🙏🏽😎🫂
RejsendePoala speaks very little english so I didn't know much about her and her journey. What I did know was she is originally from Peru and have lived in Italy for the past 18 years. I crossed paths with her back in Pomplona. Found out she was doing half the camino this year and will come back and finish next year. She is really a nice person. I will miss her sharing a part of her grapefruit with me. I look for grapefruit at every market, can't find any, then she always has one. Cool.
RejsendeAww, that was sweet of her. I’m sure she’ll think of you as well. They are a good source of potassium… it is one of my favorites.

RejsendeCongratulations 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?
RejsendeThanks 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.

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.
RejsendeSounds 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!

RejsendeThanks Chris, in a couple days when my feet are back to normal, then comfort for sure. Thank you.
RejsendeThroughout 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.

You’re keeping that youthful look about you. 😉 you look good! Inner Peacefulness!
RejsendeFrom the map, you seem to have covered quite a distance today. Is it about the same distance daily or does it vary depending upon the terrain?
RejsendeThanks Renée, I am holding up pretty well. The distance was a little longer, the difference for today was the climbing. Glad I was able to get something from the pharmacy. Slept well. Today will be good.
RejsendeI know that climbing uphill on the Camino can be quite difficult. How about the downhill, the effect on the knees? Are your knees holding up? By the way, I am soooo impressed. You are doing great and are meeting so many interesting people from around the world - AND turning them into FRIENDS.
You sonetimes mistakenly overlook that the downhill part coming off a mountain requires an equal amount, sonetimes more effort. I totally agregó with Robyn, that going downhill can be just as strenuous. [Vernon]
