Good on you! It's all so lovely. I'm glad that you decided to send your pack ahead, and thatโ€”as much as I enjoy your videosโ€”you will prioritize getting rest after all the exertion! May the wind continue to be at your back.

The wind changed direction today, but it was nice to have wind in the heat

After years of living through California fires and air filled with particulate matter, I always worry about air quality! Stay healthyโ€”salute!

Enjoyed your walk (as I lie back in my chair). I see itโ€™s cold today, but itโ€™s hard to believe as here in Florida itโ€™s in the high 80โ€™s (F). It must be more pleasant to walk in the cooler weather than the heat. I especially enjoyed the chapel & the kind nun who sent you on the rest of the way with blessings.

You will be tired when you stop for the night. Sleep tight!

Thanks for sharing.

The Gothic cathedrals are magnificent but I love small stone chapels for their history and simple beauty.

The Blessing of Santa Maria, Madre de Dios, by the Spanish Nun can be heard in your voice. The gift of that protection I believe will last far beyond The Camino. Lucky you.

Wow only 69, it felt a little bit bigger. At least bigger than where I now just arrived: Boadilla
