A bullboard in Navarrete

Post dinner update:
I feel compelled to express the inexpressible joy of a good meal well served. Little experiences along the way at the hands of kind, loving folks just trying to express their love through their craft. We had the *best* dinner ever. Prepared by Tati, served by Adrian. Served with local wine, laughter and hugs. I just cant say enough. Resturante Sala here in Navarrete. The Camino provides.

It seems funny to do a 7 mile day and feel as though it was less-than, after all, we walked 4 miles yesterday on our day off just to go to the store! But some days need to be short, some days need to be long.

The miles keep rushing at us. We are all doing our best to deal with our bodies. Aging joints, sore and blistered feet and all the rest that comes with travelling halfway across the world to walk. Having said all that, every day I see around me happy, joyful people struggling the same struggles, listening to the music of putting one foot in front of another, one mile after another. A journey of a lifetime.

Melanie had a blister go bad and had a podiatric appointment yesterday. This short "nero" day will give her needed time to rest.

We are in a beautiful old hill fort town called Navarrete and our room looks out onto the central plaza and church.
There is so much history here, I have enough to study for a lifetime.

Tomorrow on to Najeera!
