We didn't go anywhere.
We didn't do anything.
We didn't meet anyone new.
Why? It was a scheduled day of rest and it so happened to coincide with a deluge and a downpour that filled up the troughs lining the walkway. Sheets of water coming down.
We are very grateful not to be getting soaked, but concerned for other pilgrims who might have had to make their way down rocky, now slippery, paths in the pouring rain. Lucky for us, our room is roomy and so there is plenty of space to hang up a few things we had to wash - unfortunately, they are not drying because of the dampness. In fact the two foot thick stone walls of our room are damp and clammy
and so are we, but we are not complaining. We have been reading and resting and thanks to modern technology we can even communicate with friends and family while doing nothing.
A well-earned rest day, and how smart you were to choose a rainy one in advance
ReplyDeleteI have two good friends at different stops on the Camino right now. Here I sit with my nice glass of Washington red (OK, my second), catching up with your blogs, while you have embarked on this amazing challenge. Go, girls!! I'm with you in spirit (pun intended)
