Rest Day in Carrion de Los Condes

Because of the problems with my foot we decided to have a rest day here in Carrion de Los Condes.

I have spent most of the day in our room doing somthing that most people who know me would find very surprising, and that is watching sport on the TV.

I have had a couple of short outings for Coffee and to an Internet cafe to check mail. Unfortunately we were unable to find any cafes with Wi-Fi or any open Wi-Fi connections so have been unable to post the blogs for the last couple of days. However, we were able to read all the comments posted to the blog and publish them, during our visit to the Internet cafe.

We also tried to research the problem with my foot, one possibility is a stress fracture, but we just don't know. We will try to get to Leon and if it is any worse will go and see a Dr.

This evening we went back to the bar where we ate last night. Just as we finished eating in walked Lucas our Belgium pilgrim friend. We had last seen him in Estelle with Jonahs, when we had carried on to the Dutch Albergue, expecting them to be following close on our heals.

Every day since we have wondered where they have both got to, and hoped that we would see them again.

Apparently Jonahs finished his Camino in Lograno, we had thought that he was going all the way to Santiago, so we didn't get a chance to say goodbye. However, Lucas has given us his E-Mail address so we will be able to send him a message.

It was good to see Lucas again and to catch up with each other. As they say every cloud has a silver lineing, our enforced rest day meant that we saw Lucas again.

Hopefully we will be able to walk tommorow, but we take it easy and I will endevour not to walk to fast as is my want!

Perhaps the prayers to St Bol should have been in Spanish!
