Day Four on the Camino

June 14 2010. Matty bones and Jack DougleBougle

Today for a change of pace we walked. Just playing, gotcha. However, we did have a shorter day than we are used to, walking only 18 clicks.Spain lingo. Views were fantastic!

We started in hotel just outside of Arzua, a phenomenal Spanish town. The views coming oput of Arzua were beautiful and full of rolling hills and tree covered valleys. We walked from really early to the early afternoon and chowed down on Spanish burgers at the hotel, which despite the hype were short and delicious. The dinner we had at the hotel was for a change chicken filet and fries vs. steak filet and fries which is the old standby.

After an afternoon, filled with spanish television, long naps, and bees galore, we had a devotional gathering in the beautiful hotel garden. As we sat, we reflected on character traits in ourselves that are less than desirable, and what we could do to improve on them. And, to conclude we wrote down the names of people we have hurt or been unkind to, people that we might need to ask forgiveness from and burned the names. It was completed as a cleansing, an act of forgiveness and had a powerful effect on the group. The only casualty was the ashtray that broke due to the heat of the burning paper inside it. We won´t tell the hotel about that, though.

All in all we are looking forward to making it to Santiago tomorrow and bonding with all our fellow pilgim homedogs. We have only about 7 miles to go, and we´re feeling the finish. We´re all excited for two more days of fun, EUCHRE and all the other good stuff.

So from Spàin,this is Desperado Jackie D, and Space Cadet MC signing off. See you all in three days.
