May 17, 2016 My 16th day on the Camino took me from Ledigos to Sahagun the halfway point on the Camino Frances. Rod and I stayed at the Albergue Viatoris and as luck would have it the group of blind pilgrims and their very well behaved dogs slept with us. Once again I was moved to watch them settle in as well as depart in the morning.

May 16, 2016 My 15th day on the Camino took me from Villalcazar to Ledigos and the last private room at LaMorena which we snagged by a stroke of luck, after turning down the municiple Albergue which looked much less than desirable. We enjoyed an afternoon of relaxing and an excellant Pilgrim's dinner there:

Also on this day we had the good fortune to come upon a group of blind pilgrims with their sighted guide and seeing eye dogs. Watching them fearlessly and enthusiasticly conquering the Camino's hardships was nothing short of inspiring.

May 15, 2016 My 14th day on the Camino took me from Boadilla Del Camino to Villalcazar and the Casa Aurea; http://www.casas-aurea.es/Albergue%20Villasirga.htm
Rod Doolittle called the night before and told me they were a few Kms behind me and that Jean, Lee, and Peggy would leave the next day to go back to the states. We agreed to meet in Fromista 5Kms ahead of my stopping point. It was great to reconnect and Rod and I would complete the Camino from there together.

May 14, 2016 my 13th day on the Camino took me from Hotanas to Boadilla del Camino and the Albergue Titas. http://alberguetitas.com
This was a long journey over 25 Kms and up and down a mountain. Some 3 Kms from the Albergue, I attempted to sit by the roadside and just tumbled on to my back and pack like a turtle. I knew that I needed water but didn't know how badly until I had arrived at the Albergue and looking into the bathroom mirror saw that my body was bent like a bow. Try as I would I could not straighten up. After a rest, some water, and a beer I was feeling much better. That night at dinner I met a history Professor from Northwestern, Richard Kieckhefer, and we spoke at length about Chicago and learned that we both considered Father Dunkerly, of the Episcopal Church there, to be a Great Friend. My path would cross and recross the Professor's for the duration of the Camino. He was studying the Churches large and small along the path and divulged a great deal of information.
