A fellow pilgrim and I wash our feet. Remember all those Sunday School stories about foot washing. I such a dusty hot climate, it is a delicious thing.
Today is the second anniversary of my operation. What a blessing to be free of that extra weight.

Left, right, left, right, left...repeat as necessary
There is an unrelenting quality to the walking that is testing me to the limit. With the backpack, the hills, the heat, the wind, the toes, the hydrating....there is always something. We have left the lush the green hills of Rioja grape harvest for dry, dusty and hot Burgos.
A cool Spanish breeze dries my burning feet on today's trek. The band aids are used preventatively. My feet are tender but so far no blisters. I was unprepared for uphill sections with pack so I just puff and sweat and keep going.

Back on the camino
