Long, hard day!

We knew today would be a challenge but we had no idea it would be as hard as it was. Our itinerary said it would be 15.6 miles and our friend Ted used his iPhone to measure the walk and he said it was 19.1. The uphill part was delightful but the downhill was a killer. Seven hours later we arrived in Molinaseca. 

Along the way today we came to the iron cross that is on the top of the mountain at the highest point on the Camino. Pilgrims carry rocks from home and leave them at the base of the cross with an intention attached to each rock. I climbed to the top and left to ten small white rocks with intentions for friends and family. All of you who are following this blog fall in that category so please know there is a rock on top of a mountain top in Spain that carries good intentions for each of you. 

Here's hoping that there are no surprises tomorrow!
