Day 3

Hi everyone, well day 3 is over. We started the day off on a good foot.The scenery is awesome.The path was lined with wild heather and yellow wild flowers.Blackberries are in abundance! The vistas are a wonderful contrast of wheat and green colors. We had fresh eggs and coffee early and headed about 11 miles out.Stopped for lunch in Melide.Famous for their pulpo.octopus.Absolutely wonderful!! The last 6 miles were pretty tough.Lots of hills! I have nice new blisters on my feet and have actually considered leaving them! my feet that is.It was a quiet and reflective day.You could hear the forest talk to you.The wind was a whipping and I can´t quite get the dirt from out of my ears! I am at this very moment enjoying a gin & tonic and cig. so life is good.Can´t wait to get to santiago and dump my sneakers and clothes! Can´t wait to feel what it will be like to get to the end.I think the message of today was no matter how tough life gets you will prosper in the end.Just keep on keeping on and god will reward you in due time.....That said....next time i mention vacation make sure the word cruise is in the same sentence!! LOL The path is pretty well marked.So all is well on the camino. Adios my dear friends and family! Love,Lisa
