After 400 miles on the Camino, sometimes things get strained. Take for example our lunch break today. I wanted to order pasta & a beer. Angie told me no. She wanted me to have tuna fish and a diet Coke. OK….I agreed to the tuna but held fast on the beer.
Other strange things occur after 400 miles of walking. Take for example yesterday. If you read yesterday’s post you will remember we got in at 7 in the evening. Well about an hour before we got in, I started reciteing poems. NOT the James Joyce stuff but…..”Mary had a little Lamb”….and “There was a old lady who lived in a shoe “…..well I was halve way through “little Jack Horner ” when I realized I was dehydrated…. I drank some water and I. quickly returned to normal.
Anyway tomorrow I am going to have that pasta and beer no matter what Angie says.

Hope you enjoyed the tuna and beer and likewise the pasta tomorrow and no more Mary had a little lamb! That was funny though. Heard from Chris this am he is coming over for a visit and dinner with me this Sunday and I am looking forward to that. You both look so good in the pictures you sent yesterday! Love, Mom

Hi Tom,
No Peroni in these parts, just San Miguel, Mahou & Rattles. They are all good!

I am feeling strained after just five DAYS with my spouse, so, really, I think you and Angie are troupers ( is it spelled ” troopers”?) to exist in a state of equilibrium (what a word) for this long. I personally like pasta. So, you have my vote. “Pasta-on” with courage. Watch out for those scary cows.

Hi Christine!
If Mike had his guitar with him, you would have no problems!
We hope you are having a wonderful vacation…
Watch out for the cows.

I know what the problem is Mike, you are missing Angie’s great cooking. All should be well when you return home, but until then,,,,,I feel for you Angie!!

Hey Mark,
I thought we made a pact 35 years ago to stick together…..Honestly, if it wasn’t for Angie’s Spanish, I wouldn’t be eating at all!

How about water AND beer! Make sure you aren’t reciting nursery rhymes BEFORE lunch, or you’ll only ‘get water and like it’.
¡Buen camino!
