No – I did not take the day off!!!! We actually had a very long trek today and mostly in the rain (when it wasn’t raining it was pouring – with a few intermittent moments of sunshine) and most of the way through gently rolling eucalyptus forests – inhale deeply and smell the beauty.
We strolled most of today with Peter from Calgary and Andy (Methodist preacher and ex-SAS officer and as it turns out, originally orthodox-Jew!!!!) – both peaceful and non-stop fascinating chatter. The 4 of us are currently in the same albergue (only 42km from Santiago) and are also sharing a room with Laura and Yves from northern Ontario. We are currently enjoying a great theological discussion/game of First Testament Trivial Pusuit. Really enjoying the challenge and fellowship!
