April 29 Castrojeriz to Fromista. 16.5 miles

Cold. 40 degrees. Molesting wind. Perhaps 50 mph. Rain part of the way. Feeling good. Feet hurting for the last 5 miles. Almost 17 miles today. Staying at Hostal San Telmo. Lovely woman chatted for awhile about the places relatives have lived in the U.S. She made a reservation for us for tomorrow night in a monastery auberge that has private rooms with bath.

We met John of Dublin today as he passed us by - see the photo.
His makeshift poncho was torn to pieces but his spirit seemed very intact as he walked on saying, "God is good". We met him later at our lunch stop where he gave us his email so we could send him the photo .

There were a few moments today where I felt the merging of being and doing. Another duality put to rest.
