I find it very hard to believe that I have reached the halfway point of my journey both in days and distance travelled. It has gone by so fast!
The walk from Fromista to Carrion de Los Condes was short (19km) and not all that memorable. It was mostly on a path right beside the highway.
Today is a quick jump ahead day due to technical difficulties with accomodations. The next 2 days will be shorter days but then I will be back on track.
I am still working on the Spanish. I seem to understand a bit miore each day. Making a reservation is still a bit of a challenge if they don't speak even a little English but I usually get by.
Thanks for everyone's concern about my cold. It is much better than it was the first few days. As for the other aches and pains, another pilgrim told me about an ibprofen gel that you rubbed on the sore area. All I can say is WOW! I got me some of that gel and it works great! Thanks for the advice Charlie!!
And Rose, Yogi is so right, unfortunatly on the Camino, that other place could mean lotsa extra miles you have to re-walk...not a good thing if you are already doing 30km that day!
Adios for now!

glad to hear things are still going well. Sounds like you should be bringing home some of that gell! Half way sounds good I miss talking to you. Miss you love you
ReplyDeleteBill, I hope this finally reaches you. I am SUCH a luddite! Wanted to say that every one's life is unique and so is your Camino! Maybe the hiccups like your last detour are actually SUPPOSED to be part of YOUR Camino! Your detours may be part of what will make your Camino an experience profound enough to match your vast spirit!
