Day Ten: Rabanal

Today we had our best weather and an easy walk. Having now walked well over 100 miles, it does seem to be getting easier. 

Rabanal is a small pueblo that is pretty much just there for the pilgrims. It has only a couple of small stores and restaurants. Tonight we will get to hear the Benedictine monks chant their vespers. It is a very uplifting experience. David is sleeping now as we got in early and have already washed clothes and eaten lunch. Tomorrow is our longest planned section on the trip and includes the Cruz de Ferro, an ancient rock mound where pilgrims leave stones from their home as a sign of releasing the burden of their sins. It is always very emotional to be there. 
For me right now, I am soaking my feet and relaxing.
