Hi everyone, I would just like to thank you all for your words of support. They have been great to read, and every comment on my Facebook and in my emails make me smile with joy. This morning, I decided to make it a shorter day, not truly a rest day, but a shorter day overall. I am feeling fine, although my feet could use the rest they feel sore over all, and today, my right big toenail is looking bruised.
So this morning, I left Villatuerta just before 8. I went to bed at 8:30 last night and slept until 7.
When I reached the town of Estella, I walked into town just in time for 9 am mass. The church was beautiful, and I received communion, and lit a candle, in honor of my 3 wonderful children.
I had a pretty big climb today, but it was mostly on a 6 foot wide gravel track, with no mud, which made my day much easier than expected. I met up with a woman who I met at the beginning of the trek from Dubai. It's great how you keep running into people over and over again.
Things are going well over all, I am tired today, and I'm considering doing a shorter day tomorrow, although rain is in the forecast for midweek...... I am in a really nice hostel as I write this, which has wifi and a hot shower.
Below are some pictures of my hostel last night, the paella the alburgue owners cooked for dinner last night, the church this morning, and the stairs I had to climb to get into the church this morning, I was on a mission to make it to mass! The mass was beautiful, even though I didnt understand the homily, and i lit a candle for my children, whom i love and am missing talking to today...
That's all for today! Happy Mothers Day, all of you moms out there, I am missing mine today, and I dedicate my walk today to my mom.
