It all started with my decision to go with using the ¨bag ¨transport service. My new typical day goes like this:
Wake up.
Toilitries : pee, brush teeth etc.
Put the ¨magic¨gel on my knees (anti-inflamatory)that cost $35 a tube at home, and here $7 !!!
Dress for the weather: hot, cold, rainy etc.
Pack up my ¨bag¨for transport and tag it (you leave it with the alberque assistant).
Fill up my water bottles.
Pack up my back-pack. R,L, and MA - I would definitely win the contest for fastest packer !!!!!
Double check the map for the way out of town.
Find some cafe and bocadilla or other food for breakfast.
Put on my smile and off I go !! I swear I could skip down the ¨yellow ¨road.
Walk 8-12 miles.
Stop at the alberque or hostal that has my ¨bag¨.
Shower,wash clothes, and take a siesta.
Decide where I will walk to tomorrow and notify transport co. of pickup and delivery locations.
Eat, visit, sight-see or read ,journal etc.
Supper
Night-time toilitries.
Sleep.
Repeat!!!
I am one happy pilgrim !!
Love, Francesca

beautiful. I'm so happy you will be able to enjoy it to its fullest. Bueno Camino Francesca!
Happy Pilgrim indeed!! Your smile is radiant, I am sure!! Love it! XOXO
Liz and I started our training today. I walked from the bed to this chair to stare out into the woods and watch the birds. Maybe Liz had a better 1st day. I'll pick up my pace soon. I so enjoy your posts. Thanks for sharing.
What's r l and ma
Is r l ma rain gear layers and medicinal assist?
I got it! Rose, Liz, and Mariann. Great sounding new day!! Rose must be a little groggy from tax season. I should be groggy from waking up at 3 am (Zeets habit?). I've enjoyed the blog immensely, quietly lurking. Love, Joe
Oh! Yes! :)
Sounds like you are all smiles!! That makes me so happy to hear you are doing so great and enjoying your journey. There's nothing you cant do, you are amazing!! Love you xoxo
p.s. You should bring some of that "magic" cream home with you! I remember Grandma Prica always had a special cream she got in Germany
Love your journaling Fran.
i started training monday. fran it is so cool , you're doing camino. what great progress you're having. l r are on a count down 120 days of training and then we hit the trails in spain. that is if we go in mid august.
Fran...you're doing an awesome job with posting and pictures! They're wonderful...and we don't get blisters! It sounds like you are having a fabulous time...great idea to have your pack sent ahead each day. Rose and Liz are picking up some great information for their Camino trip. I'm not sure they can outdo you on postings and pictures! We'll see :-)
How blessed we are to be making this journey with Francesca and to think we will be able to do it again in September with R & L is just too exciting!!!
