Day Six

We planned to start early but didn´t get going out of town until about 8:30 am...no coffee, but we had some big chocolate croissants in our packs and hoped to find coffee in about 3 km!   NO LUCK. Two towns later, major uphills again and nothing open for us and also no bathrooms!  We filled our water at the town fountain and carried on.  It is really difficult to start early and expect to find things open.....I guess !  Spanish people have very different hours from N.Americans......they also close up shop from about l pm to 5 pm and then open up again....and it is almost 5 so we need to get some fruit for the morning and also i am going to buy some eggs and hard boil them as we desperately need to be eating protein for strenght!!   Anyway as our day went on Joanie was feeling sick and soom Jan & Sandy joined her also not feeling well.  The heat was not helping the situation and my feet were beginning to hurt...blister..altho a small one family !!  I sat on the side of the trail took off my boots and nurse Sandy administered first aid.  We were all very slow given the situation and thought we better stop early today.  We made it to Lorcos...about 15 km and grabbed an aubergay.  We hit the bunks for some zzz´s.  I didn´t sleep too long and got some laundry done.  The Auzzies and English are here too...but the men walked and the (smart) women took the bus!  There are some other familar pilgrims here too....still very hot....we are hoping the weather starts to cool  but heard the next few days are to be hot!
It is what it is...and we have a lot to be thankful for....we just can´t remember right now.  Sandy and Joanie would like to have someone tell their chiro that his patients are doing well!  He fixed them good!! 


Buen Camino !!  xxx
