Day 6

The beauty in the land I see is too much accretlly die scribe.  I have brought Somers camer with me and have a chip that's will hold three thousands shots.....I will need them.  It seems strange not having Tony and Peter along any more but with out them I am actually moving faster.  The temp is still in the low 90 and I feel it.  I have been very cautious as to my water supply.  The air is so not that my mouth drys out very quickly.  I bought some gum on my last stop, but it don't help much.  Soon as the flavor is gone I spit it out.  I now carry twice as much water then when I started out.  So in taking on more weight I need to take off some weight so I discarded my rain jacket.  I really think that now I am over the Pyrenees I won't need it any longer.  I also donated Somers camping pillow.  Sorry Som I will replace it when I get home.  My hoody will be the next to go. Came to a river that was very easy accessible.  Several pilgrims were in it but I knew if I did I would never get out so I passed it by.

Got into a small village that had a large fountain with three spicket going at the same time into a troph about waist high.  I stripped to the waist and held my head under a tap.  Oh by dee hell it felt good.  Couldn't get enough of it.......neve.lasted long though.  But I did replenish my supply.  A Spanish woman was trying to tell me it was stright from the mountain and good to drink.  From her broken English and gyrations I was sure she wanted me to touch her breast.  Something to do with the water was as good as mothers milk.   By the time I left a dozen pilgrims were all over it.....the fountain.

By the time I got into Estilla I was so tired I had my head down while looking for the municipal alberque.  I jhear some one holler hay mr Utah ( no one here remembers names) it came from the window of the Alberque I needed so I checked.  Cheep only 6e but again no food.

Rested up some, took a shower, and then went to dinner.  A lady from Panama ordered for me, it was only 8e and I couldn't eat it all.  Bought some tape for my feet and came back.  Door locks at 10:00

My plan was to walk six days and then rest one day.  I thought that instead of resting a full day I would just do a short walk, but in checking my map their is no where to stay and I am faced with about six miles of no water and no trees.  Si I decided to just hang back a day and give my legs a rest.  We need to all be out by 10:00 so I will check out to some camera stuff and then check back in for the night.  By dozing this I will see new pilgrims on the WAY in that we all are playing leap frog with each other.

Lesson learned........all the signs don't point in the right direction..
