Started out at 7:00 under the stars and it was freezing. I had to wear my yellow rain poncho to keep warm. Arrived in Mansilla at 1:30, so we made great time. My blister didn´t give me any pain whatsoever. YEAH Sat in the courtyard with lots of other pilgrims (they feel like family now)chasing the sun as it moved around the courtyard, drinking vino and having great conversations. The store owner even opened my bottle of wine in the shop and I carried it up the street...quite a common practice for pilgrims. Had an amazing pilgrim meal with our friends from San Francisco, France, Quebec, Holland, England, and of course....our Finish film crew.
Elizabeth and Judy spend the evening in Reliegos. They enjoyed a pilgrim meal and conversation with a Spanish couple. Marilyn spent the night in Sahagun where she found her water bottle that had been taken by mistake the day before. An example of the Camino Express. She spend the day biking around the village and stayed at an Albergue that was filled with antiques. Linda and Therese shopped at the medieval festival in Leon, bought fragrant bath salts, and soaked in a hot tub....it was wonderful!! They stayed at the Hotel Paris to celebrate the birthday of their friend from Denmark, who shared the room with them.

This is Don.
A rough calculation indicates that you are exceeding the 25KM daily quota. Are you in a hurry to get home?
All is fine here. Although the neighbors (to the west of us) are partying every night.
Kathy, I am loving your daily comments. We are so proud of what you have accomplished and are in awe of you and your chica's. Last night the Ice Wolves won their first game against Kitchener Blue, although Lucas didn't play he had a great time on the bench cheering everyone on. We went to Boston Pizza after the game with the Poetkers and Oldfield Boys. Geoff has been a wonderful addition to the hockey team and comes out to almost every game and practice. He also helped the somewhat ignorant parents in the stands determine good calls or not by the refs..LOL
Keep up the great work ...again we are so proud of you!!!! Can't wait to hear all about it in person when you get back. Love ya
Kathy, Adam, Daniel and Mary
Hi Don,
Tell that household of mine to take it easy on the partying...they will be worn out before I get back.
We are hurrying because we have decided we want to spend two days in Finisterre (the end of the world) where we hope to burn our clothes and bathe nude in the ocean to celebrate!!
Hi Kathy,
Thanks so much for the update...that family of mine is too busy to keep me posted.
Did Lucas do his half-time show? I´m so happy Geoff is able to help out.
By the way, tell those two boys of mine if they don´t send me an email or comment on the blog very shortly, I am CUTTING THEM OUT OF THE WILL!! lol
We will have a vino date when I get back.
Kathy
