Los Arcos....a long day in the sun

I haven´t written for a while as it is often hard to get onto the computer at the end of the day in the refugios. Last night, I stayed in a terrible one, it was not clean and very hot. many beds in a huge room so lots of snoring! Tonight I am staying in a newer one with only 6 beds to a room and breakfast included. I have made many friends along the way but will be parting ways with them tomorrow as I will not be able to walk 30k with my bad blister. It seems the Camino is telling me to slow down and take more time. I will have to cut this short as lights out has passed but there is a football game on so they are letting some of the guys stay up and watch the game. Anyway, this is very hard and I am discouraged with my blister but still hoping it will eventually heal. I am prepared to stay one more night in Logrono if necessary. The weather is blistering hot and today there was no shade at all. Rewards are the incredible scenery, the old monastery´s and medival buildings and churches you pass by and today was the day of the wine fountain which I drank from at 8.00 am! I am so hot I have totally lost my appetite during the day and can only manage a cafe con leche and some fruit. Sometimes the cafes offer fresh squeezed orange juice which I happily take part in! Tonight my friend Frances from Belgium and I cooked a meal for some of the people staying here. It was so much fun and we drank wine and talked till late. I am being asked to get off the computer so will bid you goodnight. Thanks for thinking of me...please pray for my blister to heal. I am learning to live in the moment.
