Today was a very different day from the last few. While I woke up around 5:30 and started walking before 6 as usual, today I walked alone. It was a short day of only 14 miles, my feet are not doing well. Everything from the ankles on up is doing great – far better than expected. Today I had scheduled a short day because I wanted to visit the Cathedral of Santa Domingo (St. Dominick) and visit his tomb.
and the chickens living in the Cathedral (google it, it is worth it)
While I did spend quite a bit of time in the Cathedral, I have also checked into a hotel to care for my feet and my ego. Humility is a hard learned lesson and today the Camino and my feet were my teachers. My frustration with my fragility has passed and I am enjoying both the rest and this beautiful city.
Please pray for my journey and know that you are in my prayers.

Amigo, We are praying, especially for your feet. We miss you. Love, Molly
Bob, thanks for the photos and dialogue. I really miss being a pilgrim vs. being a tourist. It is a such a great thing to be with others who are seeking and completely open about it. It makes for a wonderful sense of immediate connection and community with others. Sorry about the blisters, they were a tough dynamic for our group, too. If you have to keep pace you can give your feet a break for a few days and catch a ride in a van at each town. If not, park yourself in a nice Refugio and read for a few days until you mend. If they get infected, then it involves antibiotics and a trip to the local infirmary. Lighten your load at a place you know you can get back to, maybe Leon? Moleskin everywhere!!!
