Day 3

This is really very hard. There is a lot of walking uphill and the mochila (backpack) gets very heavy and it gets hot and my legs cramp and my blisters are hurting like ice picks stuck in my feet and I wonder what the hell I am doing and all of a sudden I see this:



And I stop and pick blackberries, taste their incredible sweetness (much sweeter than ours)
 I pause to pick a bunch, eating them as soon as they are picked. I drink some cold water and catch my breath. I look around and this is what I see:


and this


I give thanks to our gracious God and go on to

PAMPLONA!















This is what I look like when some S.O.B. wakes me up at 5 AM stuffing his noisy gear into his mochila so he can be first at the next albergue.

Tomorrow I scale the heights of the mountain of forgiveness!

    Ephesians 1:18-19
    Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
    "18 I pray that the perception of your mind may be enlightened so you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the glorious riches of His inheritance among the saints, 19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of His power to us who believe, according to the working of His vast strength." Praying for you daily, Will! Betsy
