Keaki. Lorraine. Karen. Kathy. Thanks to them I was able to get through today's walk. My original goal of reaching León was discarded almost as soon I began walking. At every town, while the others sipped on hot coffee and nibbled delicious treats, I curled up on the sidewalk using my backpack as a pillow.
We finally reached the albergue and I crashed. A shower seemed like an impossible task. I woke for an attempt at dinner and conversation - both were only a partial success - and crawled right back into bed.
