"To go in a spirit of prayer from one place to another, from one city to another, in the area marked especially by God's intervention, helps us not only to live our life as a journey, but also gives us a vivid sense of a God who has gone before us and leads us on, who himself set out on man's path, a God who does not look down on us from on high, but who became our travelling companion." -Pope John Paul II

Camino Day 5
Today we walked from Puente la Reina to Estella. The day started with a huge, long, steep hill that made me reconsider yesterday's optimism. The Camino is really, really difficult. The climbing temperature didn't help either. We saw a lot of wheat fields, a few cute towns, and had little shade. We struggled to find a church that had Mass at a time we could go but we ended up making it to the 8pm at a beautiful church in Estella. Please pray that we continue to persevere. Our feet and legs are so sore and our packs feel heavier every day. We are offering all of this up for our intentions and yours.
