Fromista to Carrión de los Condes

Our day began with a good-bye to George. He only had a week to walk with us and then something came up at work and he had to get back to Canada.

I was really sad to see him go because it had taken me three days to get the hang of his dry sense of humour. He is so intelligent that if you are not paying close attention to his wit you miss the joke, the small sheepish grin and the wink that goes along with it.

I truly appreciated some of our conversations around the qualities we are looking for in our next partner. Martin and George have been the perfect people to help me examine what I am looking for in my next relationship. 

Martin and I walked the 19.3 km to Carrión de los Condes. I absolutely loved another walk by water, this time by a meandering stream.

I took the time to finish my Wab Kinew podcast on Red Man Laughing with Ryan McMahan. I just love listening to the two of them. It was hopeful, honest and inspiring. I was so taken by the podcast that I wrote an email to Wab Kinew to say thank you.

Martin and I checked in to our first Albergue for $5 euro per night. Martin has the top bunk. The fellow, who checked us in, kept thinking we were a couple which made us laugh after.

We had a lovely pilgrim dinner and then headed back for free Wi-Fi at the local restaurant.

We have a little longer day tomorrow but we will get through. My feet are healing well with the shorter days. I only have two blisters on my heels which are almost done.

Take care and see you all in 21 days.

Love

Lauralee
