Today was our longest day on the Camino. We walked well over twenty miles. It had other challenges as well. The first two hours were virtually without coffee and so felt like the zombie effect we'd read about. Our packs were heavier than usual because we wanted to be prepared for long stretches without food. It rained, sometimes quite hard, on and off throughout the day. All served to emphasize how fortunate we have been up until now. We also feel we have the resources, in many ways, to face the challenges of the Camino. Tomorrow to Finnisterre and the ocean.

Come to me, all you who are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
