LOOK AT THAT ELEVATION MAP!

It’s the second highest summit so far and even worse…check out the nearly vertical descent on the other side. I worried about this day for weeks. Well guess what? It was nearly all pavement, the inclines were gentle and sloping, and that steep descent was on pavement so by walking in a zig zag pattern it wasn’t bad at all.

Arriving mid-afternoon was a plus too. Time to do a little laundry, walk around the neighborhood, and have a nice white Albariño wine to relax.

Even if you ask for a Coca Cola you might get a Pepsi
Aquarius, a good drink to replenish electrolytes. Non-carbonated AND made by Coca Cola.
The sun rising on our morning walk.
The beginning of the descent
Santiago/Saint James

At least I have two stamps for today.

Buen Camino

I am me, a person with love for others, a passion to be creative, and a desire to be a cheerleader for others. I’m a wife, a mommy, and a grandma (you can call me by my grandma name “Lady M”). I’m on a search to grow and connect more fully with God. I didn’t grow up particularly church, married a man who had, and we raised our three daughters in the church. I found a place to belong in the church and somehow discerned a call to go to seminary. I received a Masters of Arts and Religious Communication (MARC). I went on to become ordained as a deacon in the United Methodist Church and served in media ministry and Christian education. As clergy I found that I didn’t have a place to belong in the church so I left the United Methodist Church in 2010. I still believe and I’m still on a quest to draw closer to God. And I’m going to walk the Camino de Santiago.
