Short blog. Made it to Zubiri today. If anyone says that only sissies go to Roncesvalles via Valcarlos, I´ll beat them with my now well-used & trusted walking stick within an inch of their lives. It rained almost the entire way yesterday & with all the rain they´ve had here, the way off road was very muddy, mucky, & dangerous. And cold. The other way wasn´t so good either because folks who walked over the mountain said it snowed AND hailed on them, as well as thunder & lightning. Today was a slip & slide down hills, almost bought it too if it weren´t for my stick. Stayed to the road after that & after about 2 hours on the flat top, a local took pity on me & brought me to Zubiri. I was about 2 km short when he picked me up. God bless him & all his family. Answer to my prayers & he wouldn´t take a dime from me either.
I just got word that my friend Patsy (who deserted us for El Paso) PASSED THE BAR!! Everyone please send her congratulations!! Patsy, there´s an opening in Laredo, btw. (hint hint)

You are a true peregrina kiddo! Forgin on through rain and mud and still finding the energy to post a message for friends and family.
I have just ordered you dry weather and sunny skies so that you can stop slipping and sliding through the mud!

Thanks for all the support, Hope. Although a couple of days ago, I wasn´t so sure about it, with all the rain & muck.
