09.22.2014 - 11.1.2014 Camino Frances from SJPP & Camino Finisterre-Muxia
Day 10 on Camino.
Just arrived in Belorado.
I have been walking in sandals since Puente La Reina(Day 4).
Now I can walk apprx. 20K before Lunch. It's awesome.
Hoping that these sandals stay with me till Santiago, I am headed to next town, which is Tosantos after huge & delicious bocadillo(con mucho mayo. Yes, I asked for it. :D) & vino tinto here at a restaurante in Quatro Cantones.
Thank you everyone for carings and advises.
You are all angels just like everyone I've met on Camino. ;)

That is fantastic, I wore Sandals from SJPdP to Pamplona, but they were not very good ... which are you using?
 
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

I loved Belorado, do remembered climbing the castle ruins and enjoying the wonderful countrysides vistas. The Albergue A Santiago was wonderful (huge private double rooms for 30 Euros, many washers/dryers, kitchen, restaurant, store, beautiful POOL, lovely hospitaleros). Glad to hear you Camino is going well. Buen Camino.

Awesome! So glad to hear this is working for you. Are you wearing socks with the sandals or going barefoot? Buen Camino!
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
It is so nice to learn that you have the Camino figured out and you are now enjoying yourself. You are a brave woman. I really felt your pain and was afraid that you were going to give up after you posted your blister problems last week. Now it is your turn to try to help someone else that might be having a hard time.

Buen Camino

Almost. I almost gave up. ;)
I try my best to help people who suffer with same foot problem.
It's time for pay back. ;)

Were you just at Pequeno Potala in Ruitelan?

No, I have not made that far.
Tonight, I am staying in Agès.
Seems like there's another Asian peregrina in sandals. :D

Leaving Burgos in the morning, 3 Oct.
We got ahead. Beth's knee swelled and we jump ahead to Burgos to rest. All looks good now. We must be addicted, we miss walking today. :)

CaptBuddy and Beth you take good care of each other this has been quite a year for you both, nice and steady watch the tummy and the knee and many thoughts and blessings to you both. b

The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

You are one day ahead of me.
I am going in Brugos today.
Who knows, we may see each other sooner than we think. :)
So sorry about Beth's knee.
I hope it gets better very soon.
 
Hola! Me too I walk this august until 25sept with sandals from Roncisvalle to Santiago! I had many ampollas in my first day on SJPP so I buyed sandals in a "ferreteria" and I was be able to walk again until Santiago!!! Also I walked with rain to O'Cebreiro!!! Many times I kissed my sandals ;) buen camino!
