October 01  A RÚA TO SIGÜEIRO

Twelve miles today. I’ve learned my outside limit these days is ten miles. The last two miles were a struggle. But I’ll barely remember it tomorrow. We live in the moment here on the Camino. Without even trying.
Pilgrims today:
Two young woman from Italy who were having to walk a 32 Km day to get to an Albergue with two beds available.
A young woman from Berlin who declared me her hero. She’s my new favorite pilgrim! Simone Grosdidier, I told her how you led me astray. I also mentioned that I’m easily led.
Another couple from Germany.
And others.
They all look after me. If I’ve stopped for a stand-up rest, they make sure I’m ok.

Not so much road walking today. Shaded woodlands or at least a natural surface path next to a road.

Arrows at every intersection, Just as the good Lord intended.
I need to learn the Spanish words for Just Resting! I stopped here for the photo and a stand-up rest. At least five people were concerned – ok? Just resting. Bueno!
Welcome natural surface paths along the roadside.
Potable water fountain. I refilled my bottles. Out in the middle of nowhere next to a bus stop covered bench. Was thrilled to see the bench.
If no bench, there’s the roadside.
Oh. I forgot coca-Cola. With just two ice cubes! ( If you know, you know)
