No wireless today, so I will post this tomorrow, when wireless is available.
Today started out on country roads, which were very nice, and then we transitioned to a very steep, rocky path. The weather was cool, with on and off rain. Not bad.
I had a good day, with the mountain dedicated to women. While I was walking, I was thinking of my grand girls, and prayed for them as well. Lucy, Harper, Finley, and little Claire.
Lots of animals seen today.
Pretty little kittens.
A baby foal and its mom.
Lots of little brooks and streams...
The hugest snail, about 6 inches long...
And a very rocky trail up....
I am sitting outside of a monastery recommended by many. It's chilly but I am well. I finish climbing the mountain tomorrow.
I have to share something I saw today. Standing outside if our albuergue was a man with a peanut attached to his ear. On further inspection, I decided it wasn't an earring. It was a full peanut in the shell. I had to ask him what it was for. He told me he glued it on there to help him quit smoking. And he said that it works!!! I will be opening my stop smoking clinic when I get home $50 per peanut gluing.... This has to be the strangest thing I have seen thus far on the camino.
Tonight I pitched in on a communal meal.
We made spaghetti, garlic bread and fruit salad.
I ate with Jonathan, far left from Quebec, who cooked, Carla from holland, Elizabeth from New Jersey, Hazel who youncant see from Swizerland and Paul from Arizona. A great meal with fellowship. A first communal meal on the camino.
Happy Friday!l
And I hope I make it over the mountain. Shipping my pack again... Feet still bad.
