Catching Up!

I am woefully behind in my daily postings! I thank you for your patience and it is my intention to get up to date within two or three days so just bear with me! I am tired every night at arrival in the albergue. It seems that my pattern is checking in, finding a bathroom, finding my bed, finding the shower, finding food and finding my bed once again. My aim is to stay present while walking and taking care to be mindful of my steps. Some of that is meditative and some is for safety reasons. There are frequent knee injuries along the trail. (Rebecca Milnes!). I have conversations during the day but they tend to be brief and most social interaction happens at meal time. After a big day, a good meal and great friends I am ready to sleep! Hence, no blog posts the last few days! Tonight I am in Logrono. I had a chance to FaceTime with Kelley and the boys. That made me very happy 😊. However, i walked for the first time today in shorts and I have a terrible case of sun poisoning. Ugly rash all over the backs of my calves and both hands. It’s very itchy and painful. I will go to the farmacia first thing in the morning for cortisone cream and a different/better sunscreen. It’s that sunburn thing where you get all cold, shaky and nauseous. Ugh! So I’m off to try to sleep at 8:40. Tomorrow will come soon enough. I wish you all a lovely Memorial Day Weekend! My heartfelt thanks to all the men and women who have served our country in all branches of the military!
