Belorado, Spain

20+km Day- Leaving a city in the morning has its challenges. You’ve spent the night and need to get back to the start of the trail/ Camino. Today we followed fellow Peregrinos/pilgrims for a few blocks while checking the App to direct us back to the trail/ Camino. These folks e we’re following had backpacks and luggage and were headed to ship items we realized as it was raining. We did an about face ( hahaha) as we had found ‘the way’. Lesson I learned don’t follow the people with luggage.
A truism, to me, of the Camino is that magic happens and bodies happen. Not everything is of our choosing but it is all a part of the journey. On the Camino today in between the rain clouds we can upon a gal we had met a few times on the Camino, she was limping and walking very slowly. She was hoping to get to the next town 10km away for a Cortizone shot at the pharmacy. She had tears for a moment, then just said this is her Camino. She planned to take a day of rest before heading out again💖
Let’s step back to last night. We did go to an amazing dinner: salad, steak, a bottle of wine and dessert €53.00/ each at a Michelin restaurant. We slept all night and woke refreshed.
Today, we had bouts of rain off and on, mostly on. , Long, long roads, acres and acres of sunflowers.Read more
