I'm with three wonderful ladies in a four bed dorm in a former benedictine monastery. One from Holland, one from Italy and Kathleen who I walked all day with from Canada...we all speak English. There is also Thomas who I see about once a week, a french lady my age, an English gentleman who is riding a bike in sixteen days, and Peter from Australia who was at the casa rural with us. Plus an assortment of other pilgrims.

We are at the Monasterio de Santa Cruz in Sahagun. It was a 14.66 mile walk for seven and half hours including four rest stops. The weather was very warm today and we felt the hot sun on our backs.
A 7:30 am start, arriving at 3 pm. Tomorrow should be shorter. I'm still two days ahead of the schedule I set for myself. Today was nice as we had several villages to walk through where we could stop to rest and take off our shoes.
I met Kathleen yesterday and we have enjoyed walking together. Last night she broke her glasses during the night and in the morning we used duct tape for a temporary fix. Tonight we found crazy glue and hopefully she can fix them until she gets home...she needs them for everything.
This afternoon I went to the museum on the hill in a former Franciscan monastery. We also were presented with a beautiful certificate saying that we had reached the half way point on the camino. A very good day. Buen Camino
