Was awake several times in the night thinking about a young couple that I had been walking with the last two days. Lisa and P J are about the same age as my kids, P J Is from Portugal and Lisa from Sydney . They are world Trekkers and have been married for 16 years. On the first day out of St. Jean PJ came to the aid of a family and carried a pack for them up and over the mountain, he injured his ankle, over the next two days favoring the injury, he stressed his knee and hobbled each day. When I awoke I decided to convince them to take a day of rest, and let the injury heal. We had a great day of relaxation, I found a public pool and spa. We spent several hours soaking, in the jacuzzi , the sauna, and steam room. It worked very well for his injury. I got to spend a few hours sitting in the shade by the stream , catching up in my journal. Later went shopping for a communal meal, salmon, veggies, spinach and strawberry salad, lime sorbet, and of course , some vino. Shared some good conversation with the Host Emilio, and brother Domingo, who host the pilgrims in the 12 th century church. A special connection was felt by all. It was amazing how the Camino provides all that you need .
By the way my feet are doing well, it is a misnomer that you break in your shoes and boots, you break in your feet. The Internet is very slow photos later
