Celebrations at Santiago

Support already!

Thanks so much to those who already are supporting our efforts even before we have begun! A visit to Decathlon (our first ever!) has furnished Frank with new lightweight  hiking boots and a new backpack, and I, famous for losing coats, replaced my Lidl showerproof with a rainproof jacket and pull-ups - so the heavens can open at will (as they have been doing quite a bit here lately!)  Now all that remain to be purchased are the essential Compeeds for potential blisters, and some painkillers (for when a shot of good Spanish brandy doesn't numb the pain).

Thanks too to my cousin Peter and his lovely wife Maria Jose who brought us sightseeing today, and fed us royally in their home near Valencia.  It was great to catch up and to meet Clara, Anna and Francisco once again and to show them Tango.  Next time we'll make it a fishing trip!

Next post will be from the Camino...
