DAY 10 on the Camino de Santiago

DAY 10 on the Camino de Santiago. Several people have told me lately that you cannot train for the Camino, that the Camino trains you. I am inclined to agree. Today was a shorter day of 23km/14.4 miles but still very hard. I had hoped to be more ‘conditioned’ by now. I started out this morning with tender feet and knees and my left ankle was very sore by the end of the day. I’m watching people all around me dropping like flies, having to take taxis and seek medical care. Fortunately after the walk and a nap I feel much better.
