Today has been quite the day. We slept surprisingly well under the church...was only woken by the bell tolling a few times throughout the night. We took it slow getting ready and were served a nice breakfast by the kind french people running the albergue. The hiking today was much more flat, some parts of it just downright boring. Michael´s ankles are really giving him a lot of trouble, and I have enough blisters to last me a lifetime. Today was a humbling day...we find that we can´t keep up with some of the older people doing this pilgrimmage and many times, though our minds say ¨keep going!¨, our bodies won´t let us. We are slightly discouraged today, but have stopped after 12 miles...isn´t it weird that we consider 12 MILES of hiking a short day and are unhappy with the distance? We are staying at a very nice albergue in our own room, so we are sure to get a good sleep. I hope the afternoon and evening off will give our bodies a chance to rebuild a bit for the days ahead. Our thoughts today spent a lot of time at home with all of you, we are missing the comforts of home, friends and family. Tomorrow we will try to get a little further, but we will see what is in store. Hope all is well, miss you very much. Please keep us in your prayers...
Buen Camino
