Day 103 Tardajos to Hontanas the meseta

I woke this morning with the news that our family’s Scottish Terrier died. She got suddenly ill and the decision was made to let her go peacefully. To be fair she was William’s pup. She loved him so much.

So today’s walk was spent with a lot of reflection on Piper and her personality. She was fiercely independent and at the same time very much wanting companionship. Maisie our Airedale died a couple of years ago and I’m surprised that Piper lived this long. But that is due to Jim Freeman and his wife Paulette taking such good care of her. I’m also happy that William was able to spend several months with Piper.

While spending time reflecting and crying I fly a cleansing happening. I told William I would light a candle for all of us and for Piper. We came to this rock pile and cross and there were two candles one big and one small. Like it was meant for Piper and Maisie. ❤️❤️‍🩹 I believe they are reunited.

We are staying in Hontanas which is fun. The albergue is nice, the staff super friendly!! And as usual we have met more pilgrims. Albert from the Netherlands, Jan from Sweden, Hannah from Ireland, Sandra from Germany and Luca from Italy. (Oops no photo maybe at dinner)
