Rain and mud today. That says enough. The rain wasn’t so bad, more of a Scottish mist all day but very difficult to stay dry. The mud on the other hand was sticky and gross. 

If you followed us on our long journey we got stuck in gross clay/mud. It was that sort of day. (Please note the photo is from an earlier time I didn’t take a photo today, but the same experience.)

I think today’s pilgrimage highlights for me how it can be in life as well. You move through some days with ease and comfort (sunshine, no foot pain, a breeze) and other days you have to struggle a bit with demands, heartaches, disappointments ( rain, mud, foot pains), and still other days are charged with energy either good or bad (lightning storms resulting in rest). There is an ebb and flow to life and for me pilgrimage has helped me to understand life better. 

Oh PS we got to connect with our friend Tim who walked last spring and is walking again. More later on why people keep walking.

Buen Camino!!
