[QUOTE="12-22Pilgrim, post: 1040390, member: 102318"] A MUCH better day on the Camino! I (and many other Pilgrims) were up by 430 and on the road by 5am or so. It was cold and windy - I.e. delightful! - and my micro headlamp finally made a contribution before sunrise. Leaving earlier was a huge help (FYI, I have never left later than 630am, but every hour of cool out of the sun helps) - I didn’t have to suffer through the worst heat and sun and the coolness of the morning was so invigorating and welcome that I was able to ignore my swollen feet and poor little toes. I saw many Camino cats out hunting. One was even pacing me a little and would stop when I stopped but would not come say hi. I caught up to some pilgrims from Calgary I met on my second day and per the post above, they bought me coffee and breakfast in the first town we came to. I thought they might want to go on alone (together) but our paces were perfectly matched and the conversation so interesting we made it to Sahagun by 10 and I returned the favor, Hobbit-style, with second breakfast :) Amazing Camino moment of the day: somehow one of my flip flops fell out of my pack and a peregrino increase his pace for 5km to return it to me just before we entered Sahagun! We walked the rest of the way together, eventually singing 1980s sitcom theme songs. But we mostly talked and then caught up with some American pilgrims that we have all gotten to know. We arrived at our Albergues in Bercianos before noon - too early for me to check in, in fact, but the bar is open and I am having a huge cold water with my electrolyte mix and a couple snacks. Apparently there is a huge festival in Sahagun tonight including a running of the bulls! So after some Albergue rest, we may share a taxi van with some other peregrinos at 430pm and go check it out. I mean, how many times would I be somewhere at exactly the right time to see something like that? Thank you for all the advice and concern. I am sorry I am not responding to each note but they are very inspirational. Buen Camino! [/QUOTE]
