Just a quick note...by NR

Few people have seen me at my ¨finest¨, struggling to even survive another step...but Em handled my physical struggle with such love and care today (as always). We made it to the beautiful city of Losgronos today. We had tapas and my new favorite drink, coca-cola lite (Dr Pepper, I am still loyal to you, but the Spainiards are not). Then, we called our families and received some much-needed affection. As I was trying to explain in an email to my dad, this is by far the most difficult yet rewarding thing I have ever done. Putting my head on the bed each nights fills my mind instantly with beautiful scenery, peaks and prayers from the day´s path. We have also seen some beautiful churches. We always seem to get giggly in the church at some lack of etiquette either one of us has at the moment. But after we straighten up, we sit in awe at the sight before us and the history the air holds in such a sacred place. We love you all...I am going to go ice my (gross) feet!

Corrections:

The city in which we are staying is LOGROÑO not losgronos

Spaniards not Spainiards
(Nik wanted me to make corrections ´)

It was such a shock to be able to talk to you today Nik, it felt like you were right here with me. After we got off the phone I searched a map and found where you are today. I also printed the map to show everyone how much you two have accomplished already. I am so proud of you two. I cannot imagine the strength and faith this walk is taking you to but I know that you have what it takes. I am sending you one of those special hugs that we share so I hope that you feel the love as I do sending it.
Always Love,
