The days are just starting to run together now... Feels like we've been out here awhile. Today was another shorter day about 13 miles. It's amazing no matter how far you are going you get so tired that last mile whether its mile 11 or 17! Need to somehow trick my brain into not knowing where we are stopping!
Our Today we met up with Shy early on on the morning. He was born in Israel but moved to New York when he was little. He shared some great stories about his life and his time on the Camino which got us thru the first hour or so! He got injured in the first few days of the Camino because he ran down a very steep hill and both of his knees had some trouble after that. We walked along the highway most of the morning with Shy. There were 3 possible routes in the afternoon and we were going to do one thru the mountains while Shy stayed on the road. Unfortunately we missed all of the routes and stayed along the road the whole day. I even had my first Camino experience of no bathroom and had to choose between cars seeing me or my dad and my brother haha. I got some honks out of that one.
We slowly made it into our albuergue for the night around 1:30 and we were very happy to be there! We chose to stop at El Peregrino with Nadine and Artjon and enjoyed our dinner with them - got some pasta which was a little different from the standard menu that every place seems to have! The rest of our friends pretty much went on ahead of us but we planned to meet up with them on top of the mountain at O´Cebreiro the next day.
We enjoyed having our own 3 person room at this albuergue and even got to FaceTime with Erin & Miles and Mom.
