Don here in Salamanca , half way

April 6, Thursday
Arrived in Salamanca yesterday which is halfway or 518 km and 19 days. Am taking a day of rest and to catch up on some chores. This is my second day of rest. I seem to be improving in strength but my knees are putting up a big argument and may have the final word. Time will tell. Will start again tomarrow and hope no rain.
<one piece of equipment that is overlooked is my back pack. Four trips and 2700 km. Pack is from EMS. Think of how many times it is taken on and off each day.
<hope to keep walking

Hey Dad!

You're slacking off on the tortilla eating! If I'm going to live vicariously through your adventure, you're gonna have to start living it up a little more. Have a bottle of wine with lunch for me, wouldya?

love

Hi Don,

Bravo! Sounds like a great trip/walk. Hope the knees hold out and you can go the distance. Or as far as you want to...
Jessica is doing a great job of keeping us vicarious folks up to date. Glad you found internet access at the half way mark.

Hope it's still only one blister!!
