Day 6 Cizur Menor to Punta de la Reina

Day 6 Friday - 20 kilometers or about 12 miles with another big climb
The sunny weather returned and we climbed about 900 feet get to the top where the iron pilgrim statues are located.  We are definitely more fit already. It's been a great day, the sun shined all day. The temperature in the mornings seem to be low 50s and it goes into the 70's during the day. Today's uphill wasn't bad, the downhills seem to be the really painful part, my toes are on not great shape. I have a blister under my 3rd left toenail, and a small one on the outside of my left foot. The rest of me is good though.
John is leaving in the morning. I am so sad, it's going to be definitely different walking without him. All in all, though, I'm doing this for me. So all will be well.
Tomorrow will be a flatter day.
Things I learned today.

If there is a little bit of mud, that's ok, but a lot of mud, makes the going harder.
Kind of like in life.
Also, up hills go easier, the more you do them. My breath was definitely better today.
Next thing I learned- put on your raincoat if it looks like rain, and that will keep the rain away... Maybe.
Ok gotta go, we have a hotel room for the night, we have just had a nice dinner, and we are heading up for a good sound sleep for the night.
