Day 5 on the Camino. Triacastela was gorgeous though the gravel road was too rough so I wore my minimalist shoes. Met another barefoot pilgrim Andrea from Italy. I´m loving the journey. Feet are holding up. My big toe on my right foot is cracked and slightly inflammed. Yesterday I started to favour it and pulled a small muscle in my ankle. Can still walk okay after I bandaged my toe. The soles of my feet are very tough, leatherlike now. This morning as it turned out I had to take a pilgrim to the hospital. Great how the Camino gives me rest when I need it. The people at the hospital didn´t care whether I had shoes or not, though they asked to see my feet. Walking around the city of Sarria barefoot is great. Staying at the Monestario de Magdelena...fantastic. Clean and huge. I highly recommend it. Gorgeous weather and sunny so far.
