What was supposed to be a rest/walking day per my guide turned into an exhausting mud slog. While the distance is not small, the hills were not quite as large as the day before or as what is coming next. But due to all the rain, the first half was slow and difficult. Both trying to walk around deep puddles and then sloshing thru mud, like walking in sand. The second half, both more lovely, but some intensive hills, So a rest day, became a day like any other, with a big day coming tomorrow.
During the second half, while tired and a bit annoyed at all the mud and not being a rest day, I came upon a pilgrim who was playing music and it was Gregorian Chants. It was quite lovely and lifted my spirits and energy.The alburgues have been quite nice, both in their facilities and hospitality and also in the growing camaraderie with other pilgrims from all over.
Buen Camino!
