September 16 Los Arcos Hotel Palacio Pujadas – Viana
September 16 Meddy Day! Meddy Day! – San Sol
A few days into my walk, I get a text with a
photo from Dana Ballentine, who has walked three Caminos and is planning her fourth. She’s my Camino mentor and lives close to me in Kansas. The photo is of a fellow she met on the Le Puy Camino in France who evidently started the same route I’m on a couple of days behind me. She also sent him a photo of me. On one of my many photo pauses, I hear a man behind me- Meddy Day! Meddy Day! Lo and behold, there was the guy whose photo I’ve been carrying for nearly a week!

Breakfast and planning
Banana is for later. Drank my fresh-squeezed orange juice before I left the counter! Cafe Americana con leche.
Sort of a late start, but I was tired and I had already shortened my day. I think about 12 miles today.
