Calling in sick

Not me, but many people are being blindsided by surprise attacks of cough, diarrhea and vomiting, shin splints, head colds. No wonder.... We are sleeping as close as lab rats and lavatory soap is never seen. One night the woman in the next bunk was up pucking all night and had to stay behind in the morning and sleep. Others are still walking but covering less ground. Blisters and their care still challenge many pilgrims. All these problems are hurtles that pilgrims must deal with and some times that means abandoning the quest and ending the camino. Like life, decisions must be made looking at the cards you are dealt. Nobody walks the camino without encountering obstacles.

The celts originated in northern Spain. Did you know that? This one bought me my morning cafe con leche.
