Highlight of my day
So today I walked about 10k. It was rather brutal and had several hills that were just plain wicked. As I came down the last big hill there was a paved road to be crossed and there was an elderly man on the other side waving me over. I had seen him from half way up the hill thinking I had about the same pace as him and it made me smile. Once I crossed the road he started asking me questions in spanish and could tell my leg wasn´t 100% he let me know that the next town was only a very small distance which lifted my spirits. The part that really made me smile was when he told me it was ¨valient¨of me to be doing the pilgrimage. Yes, that was the highlight of my day.
Below are some pictures from Muruzabal to Puente La Reina. I took a bit of a detour to walk by a church in the countryside.
Tonight I am staying at Albergue de peregrinos Jakue, which is in the basement of a hotel.

Thanks Ginger!! I miss doing the puzzles with you. Much love to you and Paul!!
Proud of you honey. Watch out for old men. He is probably my age. Hope you are having a great time and I know you are. Uncle petie.
hehehe The only thing to watch out for so far has been the frenchman in the bunk next to mine two nights ago that snored like a damn freight train. Thank goodness there were a few couches in the adjoining room. Myself and another girl made good use of them and slept well after moving away. 🙂
Love you!
Lisa, we are checking in regularly here to keep track of your progress. Great going so far. Good luck with the rest of your journey.
Of course that should say Liza…darned auto-correct.
lol yeah some of my posts that I have been writing (not yet published due to lack of wifi) have had some interesting auto-correct errors that made me laugh. I have to make sure to double check stuff, or risk laughable and erroneous information.
All I can say is WOW just WOW. Love the pictures and praying for you to be able to finish and truly enjoy…
Thank you my friend!! I hope to finish as well. But I already consider what I have done a victory!
