A loss for words.

I could ramble on about our 13+ mile walk from Leon but tonight I am at a loss for words. We have landed at the most amazing B&B's run by the sweetest person I think in all of Spain. Her name is Mercedes and she and her husband are the inn keepers. When we asked about laundry she said she would do it if we made a donation to her fund that she gives to the poor. She also cooks and serves dinner. The meal was without question the most delicious food we have had in Spain. 

We are staying here with another American couple from Portland, Oregon and a couple from France who speak no English. There is also a lovely woman from Santa Cruz, CA who we met earlier and have stayed with in several hotels. Without anyone asking Tracey shared with everyone that she lost her 20 year old son to melanoma. She walks by herself most days. She said when she gets home her husband and 20 of her son's friends are going to meet her at the airport in San Francisco. She said she is not afraid alone on the Camino because the worst thing that could ever happen to her has already happened.

After hearing her story I have no more words. Tomorrow I walk continuing to count my blessings.
