Golden Girl's Camino - Santiago de Compostela

How time flies, Josie!  Pretty soon your "longest walk" will be over.  In two weeks?  You reminded me of my high school classmate Lydia who lives in Helsinki, walking with other pilgrims all the way to the Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa in Poland.  How about comparing your pilgrimage experiences with internet pilgrim expert Francis Tapon ...?  Very interesting facts about the Camino.

Sept.23,2014 Tuesday on the way to Mansilla de las Mulas Posted: 23 Sep 2014 08:39 AM PDT Beautiful flowers for someone dear that did not quite make it to Santiago. I always make a sign of the cross as a respect. The letters are in Chinese characters, I think.

Sept. 23,2014 Tuesday El Burgo Ranero to Mansillas de las Mulas Posted: 23 Sep 2014 08:15 AM PDT This was the 1st time I saw the hospitalero up early in the morning. Usually we all get up & leave But I had a very nice conversation with Kent. He asked me to say Hello to Laura at the municipal Albergue at M.dl Mulas. I did when I checked in & she was happy to hear from Kent.

Sept.22,2014 Tuesday from Sahagun to El Burgo Ranero 18km 12miles Posted: 23 Sep 2014 05:51 AM PDT This was my municipal Albergue in Sahagun, an old church converted to an Albergue. This was the old walls & arches. There were 2 long dining tables. Quite an architecture & really very nice.

Sept. 22,2014 Tuesday El Burgo Ranero Posted: 23 Sep 2014 05:52 AM PDT I passed this marker & it is a reminder of our mortality. We will never know when & where!

Sept. 22,2014 Tuesday From Sahagun to El Butgo de Ranero 19 km. 12 miles Posted: 23 Sep 2014 05:50 AM PDT Today was the best day for walking as my feet felt very good & no aches. I think my blisters are all healed & I did not develop a new one! WOW... I also feel that my feet & legs are stronger & I am walking faster. Along the way I saw these bread being delivered, maybe door to door? I remember when I was young in the Philippines, our bread was delivered every morning. I loved it as it was still warm. The simple life.

Sept.21,2014Sunday. From Ledigos to Sahagun Posted: 23 Sep 2014 05:51 AM PDT The walk today was shorter, only 17 km, but it was hot & no shade. Anyhow, Sahagun is the geographical center of the Camino. It is a very important town at the time a Spanish Cluny. I am staying at the municipal Albergue de Cluny, an old church that was converted to house pilgrims. Very interesting old walls of the church. The Virgen de Preregrina , beautiful & her clothes were weaves & decorated & sewn in Seville.

Sept. 24,2014 Astorga

Before leaving Leon, I saw the big M sign. I just have to eat one. After a while, I need something that reminds me of home. It cost Euro4.55 no fries, the Extreme which has double patty + bacon. Yummyyyyy.

Sept. 24,2014 Leon

This is a really nice art in the middle of the square by the Cathedral. I put my hand to match the imprint. This is my version of touching the imprint hand at Santiago de Compostela. It is not allowed to do it anymore as they are afraid the marble post will collapse.
