Foncebedon, Spain

16 miles. Climbing all the way. Last 7 miles similar to Orisson, but different humans. Today, we all learned about conditioning and our newfound superpowers of infinite hillclimbing. Amazing what the body will do with a little training. For me, it has been almost 50 years ( basic training) since my body has been conditioned to such a degree.

The scenery, as expected, was spectacular, the weather held out until beer thirty when the rains came, so we just had another!

Tomorrow we hope to get up before the sun, finish the climb to the cruz de ferro and celebrate javs birthday with the rising sun at one of the most anticipated stops on the camino. We all have our rocks, and we're ready! (google it).
We all realized today that we are only about 10 days out from Santiago. The miles have flown by and we are all proud of our deeply personal triumph. Until tomorrow...
