Espana!!!

Okay, so it was only 20 miles so i made it to Spain--something i failed to do yesterday.

Mountains, mountains, mountains. Up, down, up, down, and the up takes your breath away and the down for anyone over 25 is trecherous (wet rocks/mud) and with my knee(s) i take more time going down than up!!!!
Up is physical, down is mental--incredible mental focus to not fall and tumble. Only one fall so far (on flat lands), and my walking sticks (like ski poles) have basically saved my life a few times....
Unlike yesterday, when i was on paved road/path (even when i wasn't suppose to be there!!!), today's walk is mostly on the pathways/woods/ farms. The cows moo-ing suggested to that the girl from RENT should have these cow's help "elsie" fly over the moon--"only thing to do is fly over the moon!!!!). So cow's moo-ing is mostly what i heard, and occasionally Antonio says something and i repeat something so that each of us can try to communicate-- he and i started walking today given we both saved each other last night. It's different walking with someone than alone, but not so bad for this stretch of trek of ups and downs.

Ohh!!! Almost forgot, got my picture taken outside the somewhat famous Hostal Burguette, where Hemingway hung out and apparently wrote some/most of "The Sun Also Rises". I brought the book, but there is noi time for reading, and my ipod is buried in the backpack--- it's just me, my 12.5 4XWidth right foot and my 8D left going one step at a time.... Very carefully. Yeah, 4 sizes different. How many people in the thousand years the Camino has been walked, how many people did it with two totally different size feet???? Yeah, the doctor told my mother I was one of a kind, too.

I'll leave you with that to ponder-

Peace
