This morning we woke up a little later because we were taking a taxi part of the way today. The hike today is called the leg wrecker because of a few very steep ascents and even more drastic descents. The description also included lots of mud if it had been raining, which it has for several days This is not the way we want to do this but as we descended the stairs and our knees were already painful or uncomfortable we knew we had made the right  decision. 

We had a scary taxi ride around some very sharp curves at a high speed. I mean it was fine but at one point I questioned our decision, only once. 

Our taxi driver left us in a small town. When stepping out of the cab we were hit with very strong winds. We put on our rain ponchos and started out. We still had a couple of steep ascents and one very steep descent into Cadavo but doable. 

We are grateful that we can make some choices about how to continue so that we take care of our bodies. Your kind words have helped as well. Thank you. 

I hope you are doing well and find ways today to take the best care of you. Even when we aren’t on a long pilgrimage we are still on this journey called life. Buen camino!
