I love writing in this blog and sending photos but I cannot respond to any of your comments. I don’t even know who is writing or even reading unless they mention it. Even if everyone did, I still can’t respond without the response appearing so that everyone can read it.
I just want you all to know I deeply appreciate your reading the posts. The various comments have been very kind and supportive of this journey. Thank you all so much. The solitude on this Camino has allowed me to pray and reflect. I hardly see any pilgrims and most of cafes and restaurants are closed until April. The ability to pray with few distractions and lots of solitude is a gift to be treasured.
My physical difficulties are getting much better as my body and muscles are getting readjusted to movement and backpack. I’m using muscles I haven’t used in 8 years!!!! Im getting excited because in a few days I will arrive in Leon, a magnificent city with a most beautiful cathedral. I’m staying in a very nice place for two nights. Those muscles need some rest!
I’m praying for you all. Can’t wait to return: First Sunday of Advent!!!


Father Frank, is this the Mesta portion of the Camino that you referred to in an earlier post? It certainly looks desolate!
Glad to know your muscles are getting into shape!
