Day 15 of Walking
Hello everyone!
We have arrived in Sahagun and are washing and hanging out clothes. This is a nice albergue here - the owner greeted us with a glass of water, which is a first. He has walked the camino, so he knows how the pilgrims feel when they reach the albergue. We plan on exploring the town a bit since we got in early. Today was an easy day. Yesterday was a long day (22 miles) and tomorrow will be about the same (21 miles)so today we´ve taken it a bit easier. The flat terrain helps us recover from our injuries so we should be ready for more mountains in a few days.
None of us slept much last night as there were probably over 60 people in our room, including some worldclass snorers. And as a bonus, a couple of people (German & French) who talked in their sleep. That was a new one! So we are thankful for an easy day today since we´re running on little sleep.
After dinner last night, Manfred from Germany, a man we are repeatedly seeing on the camino, asked to pray night prayer with us and offered to sing the Magnificat. He has a beautiful voice, so we were thankful that he joined us. And today, Peter from Italy stopped and turned around when we were praying the Rosary, smiled and said that it was beautiful to hear.
We continue to pray for all of you, and we are more thankful than you can imagine for all your prayers. We´ll post again when we can. ¡Dios le bendiga! (God bless you!)

What a wonderful testament to the universality of prayer and sacred song! It's beyond my comprehension to think about our prayers united with yours; and yours and ours united with believers throughout the world. It is our sustenance. Hopefully, you will also find comfort in the other sustaining necessities like rest, sleep, food, water.... Carry on, and claim abundant blessings. Peace and prayer be with you. Connie H.
We are so happy your injuries are healing!! We are wondering what else God is doing in your lives as you tread mile after mile in pain and discomfort. There will be a mighty work of grace in all your lives. Shalom-Leone & Dick
Wow, what beautiful pictures! I continue to read your updates and pray for you every day. Can you believe the miles behind you already?! I'm heading out for my morning run and always think of you all when I go (I have to admit, I have not added a backpack in solidarity with you, though).
