To Acebo

September 30

We were loving today until the downhill that went on FOREVER!!! We thought it would never end, especially with the sun beating down on us. Here we had planned only 10 miles today, but the end made it seem way longer.

Special Moments:
1. We walked up and by Cruz de Ferro (The Iron Cross), where I had left some of Dad’s ashes five years ago. We were also able to say a little prayer and remember sweet Alivia while we were there. ❤️

2. We thought we wouldn’t see Candi and Nancy again, but saw them twice today! 💕🙂 They walked on for eight more kilometers from our stopping point (which they shared was more of the awful rocky downhill - ugh!!!)

Funny Moment:

We were so tired when we checked into our room, we ended up going into room 1 instead of 2. While I was in the shower, a woman from Dublin opened the door and walked into the room (it was really her room). Alan had just put his shorts on. A few seconds sooner and he would have been naked 😳.

She was a good sport and took the room that was supposed to be ours. We all had a good laugh over it when she joined us for drinks and called her husband to tell him what had happening. 😳😂 She said even if he had been naked, it wasn’t anything she hadn’t already seen before. 😂😂Read more
