First four kms..

With the first four km done, the legs are warm and tingly.. Did some steep green hillsides.. But I know it was nothing compared to what the boys have done previously.




End of the first day

16 kms for Lilly and I on our first day. Nothing quite like poor old Morgan and Ages first day of steep climbing and 30 km...

But we are tired and footsore- no blisters thank goodness.

We passed through so many beautiful spots. I'll include some here, but think lush soft greenness, mossy old stonewalls, ancient oak forests and cobblebpaths.

I feel particularly inspired to have seen the ivy - which I hold sacred - profusely growing everywhere. With The Way , I am walking my own path, with new eyes, having left field influences forcing me to rethink... Well everything. 

I draw strength from seeing the ivy in thick patches, just when I am feeling a bit hopeless.

To be sure, you are not the same person once you have begun The Way.

Onward to more adventure!

Brrrrrrrr Sarria...

Brrrr. Far out its cold. The day was spent travelling to meet up with the boys. Buses and trains, planes and buses.. So delighted to see them! Age and Morgan look fit and healthy.

We organised our Pilgrim passports, Morgan so delighted to be an expert and show us around.

I've taken a few shots of where we are staying tonight. Delightful place, wood and stone.
