Along The Way

Hi all – This is Christi, David’s wife…David has not been able to update his blog from Spain so I am uploading his photos from Facebook and a few of his comments from the emails he has sent to me and other family members. This photo is of his current Camino companions  – a father and son from Australia, two girls from Brazil and a women from Ireland.

I’m trying to figure out how to download several videos he has posted on his Facebook site but I haven’t gotten it figured out yet.

These photos are from between Saint-Jean-Peir-de-Port and Pamplona:

May 16th “We arrived at a private albergue in a small village between the two towns.  Just for us six people.  Has swimming pool and jacuzzi .  Today was 25 km. Brutal.  Then brutal.  We all are physically spent.  But we all did the same.  Kept up with the 30 year olds no problem.  But ok I think.  Sore toes, sore knees, shoulders, no blisters. Nine hours walking.  Absolutely beautiful places!  Drinking vino! ”

May 17th “Fantastic day, but then got blisters on both heals . Made it to our place in Pamplona.  Same owners from yesterday.  Just the six of us with kitchen, living room and two beds to a room.  Pretty tired and painful feet.  Will sew them up soon.  We climbed a bell tower in a 13th century church on a hill, and the nun let us ring the bell.  Great art in the Romanesque church. Hope less painful tomorrow.   But some of most beautiful trails through wildflowers and trees and little villages.”
