We started today’s walk on this boardwalk. Way up ahead you can barely see Christina and Kelly, the couple Charlie mentioned in today’s diary. They walked about the same pace as us so we ran into them several times, passing each other.
About half way through the day, Kelly spotted a restroom for all of us. It was in a tiny government building in a tiny town. I was starting to despair. I think they were, too. Kelly decided to go in and see if there were “facilities.” There were. What a relief!!
But, I digress, I was going to talk about how great it feels to set out in the morning. You are fresh and rested and caffeinated and excited about what may lie ahead. I love the feeling of setting out in the morning each day.
Later in the day is different, of course. Feet starting to burn. Just wanting to “be there”. But, always a great feeling of accomplishment when we arrive at our place for the night (usually around 2 or 3 — just in time for a great Spanish lunch).
I imagine aching backs as well as tired feet. That would be my concern (maybe “nemesis” is a better choice of word).
Ooh, not fun. We’ve been lucky not to have back problems. With me it’s always the feet.
