In Fonfria
Well I have decided to slow down. My Canadian friends were off to a 28k day. Not for me. My legs are in pain--so much so it was difficult to sleep last night. So I ended today around noon with a little down time to write and just converse with others. Tomorrow I may go only to Tricastela--we´ll see how I feel in the morning. This is a tiny, tiny town. Four houses, some cows and chickens and us pilgrims. The albergue is very nice and very few of us are here. Such a delight! The climb over O´Cebrerio this mornign was lovely but oh, the ups and downs today! And after the mountain climb yesterday.......well, this is the end of mountains. Santiago is coming closer and closer and Galacia is beautiful. It is very cool and autumn has definitely arrived. Lots of turning leaves and the air is bright and fresh. Blessings upon you all.

There is no shame in slowing down. I walked with someone who had serious pain in her knee.... for her sake we decided that 20km was quite enough per day for the last stretch. After O'Cebreiro you are 'almost there' and I enjoyed being able to 'enjoy' those last kilometres. All the best!
ReplyDeleteSounds like slowing down will be a good thing -- take some time to 'smell the roses' ! We are with you every step of the way - no matter what pace you chose to walk :)

Thinking of you on your journey. The Sunday School children did a "prayer chain" and placed the chain of prayers on the altar. Your name was included many times. Did you hear us???
ReplyDeleteTake care of those sore legs!
