Charlie : I was sick all day yesterday, slept most of the day but I feel pretty good today. We walked 5 miles or so into Molinaseca and Wynette was starting to feel sick. So we took a taxi into Pontferrada and are staying at a hotel. We’ll see how Wynette feels tomorrow. We still have time to get to Santiago and then spend a few days on the coast and do some more walking there.
Today was one of the prettiest walks we have had (see the videos). Beautiful valleys, a river, lots of wildflowers and wonderful blossom smells the whole way.
We have walked 260 miles so far and the are still 130 miles to Santiago. So we are about two thirds of the way. We have been here for 5 weeks and have 3 weeks to go.
Charlie: glad you are feeling better, but sorry that Wynette might have caught your bug. Could be a 24 hour bug of some sort, but could also be a mild case of food poisoning or something you picked up from the water. Let’s just all hope it goes away and doesn’t spoil any more days.

May 10: I seemed to have missed the above comments about ‘Sick Days’, therefore, just read them this morning. I also sent a personal e-mail today asking if Wynette had become sick. Hopefully, both are well and ‘On The Road Again”! Mom
