This is the first day in a long tine that I walked almost pain free. Stated out at 6:30 am. and it wad cold and windy and a little rain, I am now off the meseta and the terrain is getting interesting again. In Astorga I met up with a lot of pilgrims who started in St. Jean with us, we greet each other like long lost friends and many a story is told. Lots of blisters, sorefeet and pulled backs. Nice to know that I am not the only one with problems. Arrived in Foncebadon just after lunch and as there was rain predicted for the next day I walked 2.5 km. up to the Cruce de Fierro. The Iron Cross and put my rocks there. It was an amazing feeling to stand there, very emotional. The hostal was not very good but it is just a few houses on top of the mountain. Had dinner and went to sleep at 7:0 pm.
Thank you all for your mail
Big hug

So happy to hear your feet are feeling better. I have been so concerned you were going to damage your feet. I count this as day 27!!! and still going.
ReplyDeleteThe trails do look well worn and steep. So happy you have many friends that you meet along your way.
Take care,
BFE
Powerful picture laying rocks at the base of the cross, beautiful.
