The last several days are a bit of a blur. The preplanned next leg was to walk Logroño to Nájera, which is almost 18 miles. I just didn’t feel up to walking that far again, so I did what I thoughtRead more
Traveler It's true... hiking sometimes keeps one's brain occupied more than one expects, leaving less time for the prayerful contemplation that we sometimes expect. I was mentioning to G after I did a solo day hike of 18 miles that I felt like I never actually "unplugged" because I was busy watching terrain, thinking about logistics, and singing to avoid bears. I'll be praying specifically for you on the topic above over the next couple days.

Heading to Naverette was mainly vineyards and pavement. A somewhat easy 24km walk but our feet and legs still hurt from the daily pounding. No blisters anymore, just aching muscles.

C'est possible que tu rencontres Denis Coderre. Ils ont dit hier qu'il faisait compostelle ce printemps. Après avoir parcouru l'Espagne et le Portugal, il va être prêt pour se présenter aux élections du parti Libéral qui n'a pas de chef présentement.

Much easier walk today - mostly flat and walked through some beautiful park land. I got off to a bit of a late start and was on my own (without another pilgrim in sight) the whole walk. A bit surreal,Read more
Traveler I know. I must have been naive but I didn't think blisters were going to be a problem. it was quite warm today so maybe my feet were sweating more than usual?
Traveler You are doing great!! Maybe you could take a day off to rest if possible. 130 kms is amazing. Blisters do suck.
