We have walked 25 K to day to the top of the hill and are really tired but happy with ourselves. The albergue to night is very spartan but clean and we appreciate the roof and a bed and a cold shower. We figured the kilometers wrong last post and we are at 93 tonight and tomorrow will break the 100 K mark. Only 690 to go. We only have a few minutes left on our internet machine. The wine is great, the weather has been mostly clear. The housing was great last night but most of all the people we have met on the trail have been fabulous. The people who staff the albergues are caring and know what we need before we ask.
Our conversations are multilingual and hysterical. To night the French couple spoke Spanish to us as well as we spoke Spanish to them. It became very funny. They also spoke French to the Italians who spoke Spanish to us. And in the middle of all this the Danish couple spoke English to us and the Australian who speaks only English. The Australian has read Mark Moncrief´s articles and recognized his name. It is a small world. But what I think is that the wine helps all of us understand each other better.
We need to go. Have another 20 K to do tomorrow. The hills are tall but we are mighty. We have earned the title Las Tortugas (the turtles) but we get there eventually.
No picture tonight because we cannot hook the camera up to this machine.
Will post again when we can.
Keep praying. Your prayers keep us going up the mountains.
Love you all, bye until next time.

"...the title Las Tortugas..." This okay but when some begin to banter around the word "caracol", it is then that you should purchase an S-car and all will be amazed saying, "Look at that S-car go!"
Sounds absolutely incredible. Good wine, good people and a mini global village. Happy Trails, Las Tortugas!!!
