Day 14: Torres del Rio - Logrono (4/14/14)

Whining alert:

This was NOT a good day!

The Camino was very bi-polar -

the highs were very high and the lows were very low.
We walked up and down mountains all day.

It was hot;

there was NO shade,

we were walking for miles on crushed rocks;

my feet were killing me;

I had small blood blisters on each heel,

the balls of my feet were throbbing 

and each step felt like I was walking on ground glass.

I was SO tired;

the whole idea of walking the Camino felt not only ridiculous but abusive.

It literally felt like I couldn't go on.

Trouble was, in order to get somewhere where I could give up and go home, 

I had to walk there!

So, I found beauty where I could -

and kept moving

(I'm telling you this could be South Dakota!)

Somehow, the day passed.

Just so you know -
staying on the Camino was a conscious choice I had to make,
nearly every day.
