Kate here. Last night we stayed in an amazing alburge hosted by Fr. Ernesto. The alburge was created on his childhood home and is made as a place for pilgrims to rest and recouperate. There was even a dr. there to help those who hurt their legs and feet. The wine was amazing and the food was so yummy.
Today we started walking and I was hurting. My feet were sore, my legs were tight, and I was not happy. There was an amazing sunrise, though, so that was nice.
We walked on the coast and saw some amazing views.
We then made it to the beach which was nice because it was soft to walk on. Walking on asphalt kills your feet and joints.
We then waied for the ferry for about an hour to make it to Santander. I was not feeling well so I took my boots off and took some pain meds. After the ferry, I put my boots on and there was a miracle. My feet felt good! I had to talk a bit to the alburge and I felt amazing! I am so happy!
We met some great friends along the way. David and Katja are now our camino and beer buddies. We are staying at this wonderful alburge in Boo de Piélagos with them and a dew others. Life is good.
