hello again
another good day. we walked in the rain, yes, but it was a steady rain, not cats and dogs. and there was no wind so we were warmer. the countryside was beautiful. huge vistas with fields, some green some being planted and some golden. there was fog and sunshine and cows. we could see the path for miles and miles. tiny pilgrims far ahead. there was a groupd from a bus, 31 of them, who walked with umbellas, not backpacks. there was a river to cross, one man took off his boots and steadied people as they walked across the stepping stones. because of all the rain, the river was running very fast. i asked him if he was cold and he said no. i think he helped 15 or 20 people across. i told the group i was waiting for my sister, so they waited also and one man took barbs backpack across and another helped her by saying aqui aqui to say where to walk. all so lovely. j
next we go for wine and dinner. what a fabulous experience. oh one thought i had today. one other reason i love the camino is because it is a chance to be child like. splashing in puddles, stepping on stones, looking at flowers. just spending time doing nothing serious. ahhh.
i´ll be back another day.
love,
mary
