Day 6 in Espana
Well today´s 27 kilometer hike was mostly uphill and along a busy highway so I don´t have a lot to report on beautiful sights. Not too mention I spent most of the time hobbling..staring at the ground... grumbling in Spanglish. My thought process went a little like this:
Wow.. beautiful farmland. OW my freakin ankle..is that my achilles?.. stupid zapatos (shoes)...I´ve treated you like gold and this is what I get in return.. well you can FORGET that great rating I was going to give you on Athleta.com... oh look a stork-like bird on top of a very old Roman iglesia (church)... bah! Who cares .. there are storks in America... actually farmland too.. wait why am I doing this again?... paaaaaiiiiinn in the ankle.... maybe if I drag it... 400 kilometros and 3 weeks of walking to go..say what!? i´m sorry shoes.. its not your fault... Wow... beautiful farmland...
Yeah... not a whole lot to do when walking from 5:30 am to about 3 every day... except THINK..
STILL--having a great time! Today was challenging for sure though. Everyone said their fourth and fifth days... as well as the next five or so after that.. were super painful.. Soo I am going to forge on to Leon.. hopefully tomorrow if not Sunday. Will post more pics soon!
Thought of the day: People from Spain know that I speak Mexican Spanish as soon as I open my mouth... and they don´t like it! Siiigh...
Good deed of the day: I had a cafe con leche with a persistent 80 year old little Spanish man and talked about his son and grandchildren in California. Very cute!
More soon.. Besos! Nays
