Week 1 - Update from Vic

Well, week 1 (of 6) is behind us and today we also completed the first day of the second week.  Make no mistake, this is hard.  Really hard.

Feet and legs are sore all the time.  We’ve both had to deal with blisters and my left knee has been acting up a bit.  The weather has certainly not helped matters.  We are going through a multiple day spell of unsettled weather:  cold, windy and rainy.  Having said that, we’ve been lucky the last two days in missing the worst of the rain while walking and today, I finally saw some blue sky peaking through - a very welcome sight.

Today we also split up and took different ways to reach our destination.  Frank took the proper path, but I opted for the alternate way by roads.  I just couldn’t deal with the mud.  I needed to try and have a mud-free day, which I was successful in.  Amazingly, after walking separately for about six miles, as we approached the destination, our separate paths converged and we met up within seconds of each other.  What are the odds?

Anyway, I look forward to week 2 - hoping our bodies cooperate and better weather around the corner.

Book of the Trip

I (Vic) brought four books on the Camino because long-distance hiking trips are a great opportunity to enjoy a good read.  One really stood out with another a super solid and close runner-up. Book of the Trip:  Star of the Sea by Joseph O’Connor What a fantastic book.  It tells a fictional story within a historical context, which is about a ship in 1847 traveling from England and Ireland to New York.  It introduces a number of characters seemingly unconnected as the ship commences the journey and what happens and what is discovered over the course of that journey including quite a bit of intrigue as well as murder.  It’s a real page-turner.  It also reads as surprisingly relevant to today as the historical context is people fleeing famine, violence and prosecution, desperately seeking a better life in America - and looked down upon and as inferior by some.  You only have to scan today’s headlines to see this same story sadly repeating itself. Extra tri...

At last, no more pain!

Walking into Santiago there was a kind of silence, and yet the city was humming. When a pilgrim comes in from the Camino de Levante people know. It is the longest, and it is the hardest. But for me, a humble man, it was also so very strange. Vic was fine, and I saw him swiping left a lot on his phone which probably explained his disappearance later that evening.  Pregnant women, they made me touch their bellies, same with the infirm. Priests bowed before me. And when I reached the gates of the Cathedral, I don’t mind saying, I wept openly. And, as I was there, my left foot started to bleed - you remember the problem with my left boot - and people gasped. Like Padre Pio with his stigmata, the bleeding wouldn’t stop. And next thing, 12 swallows hovered far overhead, representing the apostles presumably. And then this young, very attractive french woman,  26 or 27, a cellist, came over and rested her finger on the wound and crossed her forehead with my blood, and said, ‘Vous avez...
