If you are missing the first 2 let me know and i´ll send it across. So when I last wrote I was on the verge of giving up! Thank you for the lovely text messages and emails, they have gone a long way. I am bed bug free and I feel a trillion times better! let me tell you why..... So as I mentioned earlier Verena ( my camino buddy for the first 10 days) told me about her friend Rebekah who recently bought a house in Spain along the camino and has decided to create a guest house of sorts. A day before I was in the area Verena sent me a text that she had emailed Rebekah that I might pop in. So the following day I walked over 30 km to Moratinos and was going to pop in for a cup a tea. I had every intention of popping in but all I was hoping for was a cup a tea.... but as soon as I walked in Paddy said, "you...

Have a look at this youtube video  keep in mind that camino clothing is not that flattering LOL Sept 9th: Hi All, So here is my next update. Today has been interesting as we walked 30km but it was not planned. We arrived in what we thought would be our destination but the Albergue was full so we had to walk back. Luckily it was only 2.5 km so not really a big deal. Tomorrow I will be in Burgos so I might check into a hotel and have a swim in the tub! I have met so many people and I don't know where to begin. Verena ( an Austrian high school teacher) spent the vast majority of my first 10 days with me but sadly she has returned to Austria because she has to go back to school.

Subject: big toe Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2009 10:04:06 +0000 Hope you are all doing well. I have now walked over 180 odd km towards Santiago and only another 4 weeks to go! Its been an adventure so far. The first day through the mountains was very difficult and also very dangerous. Its advised that people should not walk it in rainy or foggy conditions.....its also 18 km without passing another town, house etc. many people have died at some point along the camino and one year 3 woman broke their nose as they were approaching Roncesvalles from st jean pied de port. As I'm sure you have guessed..... I walked it in the rain. Its was horrible but quite an accomplishment! I could only see 5 meters ahead and it was difficult seeing the yellows arrows etc but I made it in the end. Today I am in Santo Domingo de la Calzada,  I have met so many lovely people and every day I have learnt something else about my self.  Some days are bigger than others but its all good.  easy lesson:...
