Catherine has arrived safely!


We met up in Ponferrada last night and stayed there. We have taken the bus to Villafranca del Bierzo to start from where I left yesterday. The hardest day of the Camino (or 2nd hardest) is today--Catherine´s first. --All up hill...all day. Catherine says....

Laura is a goddess! She came all the way back to the previous town just to meet me at the bus. We walked to an albuerge and were greeted by friendly older folks with big volunteer signs on their chests. Potts and I had our own room w bunkbed! It feels like camp, with Gregorian monks chanting instead of a rooster waking us up at dawn! Last night when I got off the bus and LP called my name I was so happy! All is well, sun is out, we begin our walk together! Somebody, please call Brenda and let her know I am safe! Gracias!

Ya'll did it! Congratulations! I am so impressed with the two of you.

CCW, I hope your trip has been a success thus far. I can't wait to hear how it went.

LP, keep it up! I really am looking forward to the book.

Ahhh... now the fun doubles. So glad the friend connection was seamless. I'm looking forward to the two perspective travel log. I feel like I'm back in elementary school and the latest Superman and Spiderman issues have hit the drug store stand and I'm barely out of the store with the pages open reading halfway through and I run to find a quiet tree to finish the whole thing. Then I realize I'm done for a whole few more weeks. In other words, keep writing ladies. We are hanging on your every word. Char

CCW and Potts...I have been waiting for this day - when the two of you are blogging side by side. How wonderful. Things in The States are just dandy...getting warmer. Just think, when you return you can get pedicures (rub those aching feet) and slip on some flip flops. Keep strong and safe! xxoo, Kathryn "Verde"
