camino update 3

Started walking today…it was awesome!  I walked to first half of my treck today alone in peaceful prayer with the rising sun and the singing birds.  The mountains of Spain are breath-taking you guys! Then my English/Spanish/Italian friend and I walked the second half.  We actually beat the whole pack today (which I learned today is good because there are limited number of beds in the hostels in each town).  Met a dude from Boston today with that cool boston accent.  Its nice to be able to speak to a fellow american (americano as they all call us).

Got some pictures coming for yall.  This computer has a cool SD slot, so I´ll upload them so you can see some of what the trail is like, as well as the Church I mentioned in Roncesvalles where we received our pilgrims blessing.

Prayers puuuulease!!  Me and a few others are making a huge treck tomorrow through the mountains.  Were trying to shove a 4 day hike into three so we can get to Santiago sooner than the rest of the pack.  Only problem is that the next town we´re travelling to, beyond the normal stop for the big pack, only has 4 beds!!! And theres about 6 or 7 of us making the treck!!  So, we have some competition on our hands.  I promise to show our foreign friends how fierce us “Americanos” are!

Blessings!
