Day Eight

So...much to tell from last night and today...first I wanted to mention this incredible woman and her family from Wales. She lost her daughter this year and made the decision to take her ashes to de Vicente (or as it known, the end of the World) via the Camino de Santiago. Her Son in Law (who lost his wife), granddaughter and her husband also came along to walk with Granny who will turn 80 next week and walks with slow precision and purpose and with a chronic smile - she is a true inspiration!! There was a festival in town last night with many folks in the street celebrating, many of us joined for tapas and to watch the fun, great night. Isabeta was with is with her many (more) blisters and a smile-not sure I could be that strong. Today was a long day, after not sleepimg due to the wine induced snoring of the gal in the bunk next too (and perhaps her sleep apnea) I started out exhausted. Made the decision to 'slack pack' a second day and finished the 30KM+ (approx 18 miles) in about 5 hours and tonight I will stay in a hotel to ensure I can go again tomorrow. Now in Najera and Baby has started to calm down and not fuss as much, she does not miss Pete during the day (at all). Pete here: I hope she does not go for a trifecta of days away. 2 should be plenty, I did not sign up to be simply carried ahead! And Baby needs to just deal with my being here too!
