I didn’t do much today. It was a big rest day. I think I’ve been off my feet more than on them today. It started out lightly raining then this got more wet. I hung out under a bridge for a bit to keep dry before finishing today in El Burgo Ranero. I got here…

Today I challenged myself. I made my two stages. The feet held up. Blisters felt fine. Just the bottoms of my feet were sore. It’s amazing how much I feel a half-inch pebble under my shoes when my feet are already sore. Here are my pictures from the day.

It was a shorter day of walking – only about 11.5 miles – but hard on the feet. My heel blister is doing pretty well, but my pinky toe was giving me some problems. Also, just my feet in general were sore, so I didn’t do the double day today – hopefully tomorrow. It’s supposed…

It was another early day, but that’s the kind I like. I was the only non-Korean in my dormitory of about 5 bunk beds. Everybody seem to get up around 6:20. It’s nice when everybody gets up at the same time and the same room because then you can turn the lights on. Fumbling around…

It was an early morning… Just the way I like them. I started to walk at 7:00. It was still dark out, but beautiful. I kept my flashlight off except to look for the signs.

It’s a sad day. I’m leaving my fellow peregrinos to return home to my everyday life. I’ve been when these people for two whole weeks. We’ve shared many stories, many experiences, laughs and cries. I walked into the most beautiful cathedrals I’ve ever seen. I will never forget my peregrino family. I would like to…

Today is my penultimate day of walking. It is also the longest day. Twenty miles is a long way to walk. It’s even longer when you’re carrying a 30 lbs. pack. My feet still hurt, even after I’ve been in bed for an hour. We had to walk extra far today because of albergues closed…
