Ode to My Feet
By Laurel
Oh, my feet! You have faithfully carried me
Far across Spain!
You’ve been with me every step of the Way,
Through sun and rain.
Each morning you were fresh and ready to go,
As we hit the trail.
By balmy afternoon, your pace had slowed down
Up hill, through dale.
Blisters can happen; in total, you had two.
Arches may pain;
By putting new insoles into my shoes, it
Lessened the strain.
Along the Camino, at the end of each stage
You’d be so sore,
But then — awesome relief upon reaching the
Albergue door!
When I say “ode” to my feet, what I mean is
“Owed” to my feet —
Foot bath, massage, hot wax, pedicure, the works!
They deserve a treat!
* Our second last day on the Camino Ingles! Tomorrow …. Santiago de Compostela!!

| Counting down the kms to Santiago! |

| Seeing other signs showing that we’re getting closer to Santiago! |
You have both turned into poets on this camino! Long walks have tapped into different parts of your brains. Bravo.
