Well our group got separated from each other before we even got started on the Camino. However there was great rejoicing when we came together on the trail! The countryside is beautiful - fields of wheat and sunflowers with windmills spinning. The terrain is much more rugged than I had imagined and there was a very pronounced ascent today which was a challenge for all of us. However at the top there was an iron sculpture depicting medieval pilgrims. We welcomed the refreshing breeze and the sprinkling of rain on the descent was most welcome.
Mark and Miriam - a big thank you for the poles. I would have been lying turtle in a ditch somewhere without them. We have established a community of pilgrims that are walking at the same pace and we eat and sleep together. We also help and look out for each other which is so great. I am speaking lots of French and a little Spanish. I have a blister the size of Mount Everest, but am walking through it. It is a small problem compared to a lot of others on the Camino. The temperature is very hot and we try to start our walks early in the morning.
