Day 11, it is so inspiring to see all these Pilgrims!

Life is becoming so simple while on the Camino, my biggest challenge the last few days has been finding a rubber sink stopper to make washing laundry easier in the albergues that don´t have plastic wash basins. You would not believe how hard it is to find one, when I do find one I will protect it from loss. lol There are so many people walking, a young woman and her older mother, both sharing the Camino at a slow pace, a family of four, two adults and two small children, very old people you would never think to walk the Camino. Everyday I ignore the pain of my feet and blisters, just inspired by others daily givings. I had a wonderful dinner last night at my albergue, homemade red bean soup, 2 thin slices of pork loin and french fries, and then for desert I had fruit, very good. Today I broke away from the guide book list of stages and where to stay, it was very crowded at all the places and a bit of a rat race to get a bed, take a shower, wash your clothes, shop for the next day, etc. So today I stayed in Ages, it is a very cool small town, I got to take a shower without rushing because there were no others waiting, do my wash with no one around, life is so good! Tomorrow it is on to Burgos and I think I will do a layover day and let my feet heal before the next walks. Burgos is the largest city on the Camino path, it is a very sacred city with much to see, I´m anxious to explore for sure. I have seen some photos of the city and it is beautiful, I feel so bad everyday I can´t share my pictures. Todays hike was long and over roads with many stones, your feet take a beating so I was glad to take off my boots and put on sandels. My albergue is awesome and I will have the pilgrims dinner with everone tonight, it´s always fun to try and talk or communicate when you have a language barrier. I walked from Belorado to Ages today, about 28 km (17.5 miles), I am very glad I did the extra 3 km to get to Ages, it is so relaxed here. Thanks for walking with me, Buen Camino!
