Rejsende“I stopped complaining about climb if it were perpetually flat wouldnt be as satisfying. “ Of course, not!!!! And as we talked about before, you, with your personality, were certain to make friends and a memorable impression. I am happy for you. And are you using the John Brierly guidebook? The cover photo for today's blog looks like a map from his book.

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.

Ankles a little sore from yesterdays hard push. Alberge very clean, very tight though. Buen Camino.
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.
RejsendeHave you attended other church services? What a nice conclusion to your day. 🙏🏽✝️
