Day 113 detour to Foncebadon These Boots Are Made for Walking/ I Was called a Witch Today

We stayed on a detour last night. It was a beautiful village but shut down at 2:00. No dinner. No groceries. Fortunately one of the workers offered to get us a pizza in Astorga. Unfortunately it was 8:00 when we ate. One of the things that we have noticed is that is very difficult to digest food when you eat so late.

Today was a very big climb so I decided to wear my boots again. It was great. My calloused toes seemed to have healed, they are still a bit sore but nothing like previously.

I will wear them again tomorrow for the steep descent.

We were talking to our friend Uroš today and he told someone that I was a witch. 😂 He then explained that he was cranky and grumpy on the Camino and he met us and his camino changed. He’s laughing, enjoying, slowing down. I looked at the person he was talking to and said, “I’m a good witch!!” To which Uroš replied, “nope, I was happy being cranky!” And we all laughed.
