Everyone walks the Camino by themselves

A week of walking, and I still have so much in my head, so much to process, so many demons.

They walk with me, taunt me with silvery voices, tease and jab at my insecurities. 

Like life, everyone walks alone. However; the gifts come in the interactions, the snippets of conversations and brief connections you make.

Its huge undertaking, there is no doubting that, but one I have fears and hopes for.

Puente La Reina to Villatuerta

Over the medieval bridge at Puente La Reina and up and down the valleys we went today.

The sun was a bit snesky today, hiding behind clouds, but strong enough to make my skin remember what exposure is. Lots of sunscreen tomorrow I think.




Another set of steep rocky ascents ( and decents)... My knees are going to be rocking it after this.. Not to mention great legs!!LOL





Some graffitt along the way




Us resting our poor old feet ong the way. Though it looks like I have blisters, I dont. Its preventative taping.. Touch wood.. All good and no problems with our feet at all.



This is Casa Magica.. Simply best albergue we have been to yet. Not only is it in a super old villa ( our dorm is wsy up in the loft) but it has hammocks and a massage chair.. Pure bliss!


This is the view from my bed..







To Puente La Reina.. We've done 102 kms!!

Another beautiful day. Our climb up to the summit was breathtaking.. Both strenuous wise and view.. I have a seperate blog on that.

We have about ten days of walking plains and valleys  ahead of us.

Some photos from today. I'm pretty tired as we got in after 6.30 pm.

We met up ( again) with the lovely french family when we stopped at a bar. Lauren made Lilly a beautiful friendship bracelet while we rested.  Such a cute kid.
