Before any photos of today though, here’s one from last night - moi trying to sing the Spanish menu to the tune of Hey Jude. Needless to say, it was a hilarious disaster!!

And another of the crew gathered in the cafe for breakfast - dancing despite the weather!!
Back to today’s stage. Did I mention that it was wet?? It was raining when we walked out the albergue door at 6.30 in the morning, it was raining when we walked into the Monasterio de Sabados at 4.00 in the afternoon, and it rained every minute between. Not pouring rain, more like a drizzle that eventually soaks you to the bone.
Mindful of the old expression that ‘some people walk in the rain and some people just get wet’, we gave ourselves to the walk seeking not to resist. It was a tough day but also satisfying. Just look at those cheery faces!!

I’m actually talking to Sarah on the phone as this photo was taken. That was nice.

It was mostly too wet to get the camera out so just a few photos today, including the two above shared my walking companions for today. The next two are from Eva, of me walking into the Monastereo at Sabados.

I couldn’t resist this final shot of socks drying on the chair in the cafe where we had dinner. This is such a pilgrim practice - drying gear whenever and wherever you get the chance!
The forecast is for rain to continue all night, and all day tomorrow and the next day, and the next. We’ll see what unfolds but basically it’s a case of, if you can’t get out of it, you may as well get into it. And since we have to be out of this albergue by 9.00am tomorrow that’s what we’ll do.

Buenas noches, amigos, and thanks so much for all your encouraging comments. I really appreciate you following along.
🙏🧡🙏
It seems a better deal from the weather to have companions to walk along with, in all the rain:) Journey on, journey on, all humankind, future is waiting for you. ( Part of a song I know from Galiwinku ).
ReplyDelete“When the going gets tough, the tough get going!” Makes such a difference to have good company on these damp occasions.
ReplyDelete40km today as I recall? Doesn’t time fly when you’re enjoying yourself.
ReplyDeleteI can almost see and hear you all, singing and dancing to Singing in the Rain - an all time favourite of mine. Maybe you should try out for Spicks and Specks when you come home and hope that the tune is Hey Jude. How good that you have such pleasant company as you travel on.
ReplyDeleteOh boy! all that rain, they are such brave smiles from you and your travel companions. Great photo and song of Hey Jude. Can't imagine being in an albergue with 72 pilgrims. Still looking good, keep up the positive thoughts, Love Bxx
