France to Santiago

So Much To Say...

5/27/2015

 
I want to tell you so much and I have a running list of things to share, but I must be honest in saying that I'm so exhausted that I can't make too many coherent sentences in a row! The Camino is going well and we are still alive at the end of each day...just barely. I seem to hit some sort of wall each day during the final 4 or 5 kilometers and every muscle begs me to give up. But, I eventually make it to the church or albergue for the night.

We took a few more breaks today and stayed pretty loose with our schedule. Really watching our hydration because the days are starting to get warm and lots of the trail  these past few days has been open field and open road, no shade. Every time we stop, Billy is ever - vigilant with foot inspection and blister care. We each have a couple of hot spots, but thanks to his great care, we don't have troubles and we are able to continue.

Stopped in a couple of different churches along the Camino today...churches that have been around since 1030, 1100 and 1200! The history! Countless pilgrims have prayed in those sanctuaries.  Humbling to be counted among them now.

A few photos to end today's post. ..

The countryside looks beautiful. Glad it's not raining and that you took breaks. It amazes me how many old churches are in Europe. When I see them it gives me all sorts of thoughts about what all has happened there and the stories they could tell. Praying for you two, Sarah and Pat.
