nice story, I really related to you mentioning "staying connected" spiritually. A few weeks back I took an extra day of work with a construction guy I know, and I prayed like crazy the day before, that I would have enough energy for the day. It turned out to be an 18 hour day, in heavy pouring rain, (in the Bronx) and I was fresh and attentive all day, thank God. Prayer works, but it IS work at the same time. Anyway, I'll never not believe. God is great, and He is our source.
That’s for sure. It was very apparent to me on the Camino. When I “disconnected” I had no power or energy at all. It is an unusual experience. I started out with physical and emotional power. After a while I kept going on emotional power. But in the end, I had to turn to God for the power to continue on. It was enlightening.
An 18 hour day working in heavy construction in the rain sounds like a challenge! I’m glad you found your “God Power” to get you through the day.
Great read and descriptions of this stretch of your camino pilgrimmage. With the detours and a potential robbery averted, I am looking forward to reading the next post on this pilgrimage.
Congratulations! You made it! (I'm reading it all late, but enjoying it nonetheless.) Great storytelling, Lois! I enjoyed reading about your journey :)
Such a good example of faith and teamwork! That detour sounded horrid but I'm happy you and your husband made it. Those pictures looked worth the extra effort, Lois!
Felicidades Lois! I can understand how depressed you must have been w. the darn DETOUR! And 30 km is a lot to begin with, then another 6! (or was it miles). OMG. But you made it! and you look quite happy! Now for a nice long rest!!!! Well deserved i might add
Thanks Jeanine. It was 6 km. We slept like rocks and took advantage of the opportunity to sleep in the next morning. You're encouragement is much appreciated.
Lois, you have to put all your energy into publishing this terrific book. I sagged out of my chair, laughing hysterically, when you talked about your feet and there was the picture of elephant legs. When I was able to climb back in my chair, I chuckled through all the rest of the delightful writing. I'm serious, You have a beautiful, interesting and delightfully irreverent travel piece.
Thank you, Sandy. I do appreciate your comments and your continual support of my work. Your encouraging comments help to motivate me. Blessings to you and best wishes with your writing as well.
Another wonderful installment! I think everyone can relate to those moments when one feels they just can't go on...and then something changes and that really difficult goal becomes possible. The feeling of accomplishment is wonderful. Thanks for sharing. :)

Some real drama there at the end of your journey - quite a compelling story, Lois.
