    Daily foot care at day's end

    Leanne I wish you and Ron every blessing for your walk. I walked the Camino in June last year at the age of 58.

    LIVE from the Camino In Azofra, day 9

    Having left Roncesvalles 9 days ago I injured my knee and had to take the bus to Pamplona and have a rest day. I was able to start again with a knee brace and have been doing really well.
