We had read that the walk out of Sevilla could be hard but we did not find it difficult at all. We left at about 7:30 this morning with a cool and lovely morning fog. We stopped for a cafe con leche so we could officially start the morning and then were quickly back on the trail. We had met two other men from Ireland yesterday but suspect our paths may not cross again as they will only have 10 days to walk and they will want to cover as much ground as possible. We, on the other hand, have plenty of time and are no hurry whatsoever.
We are enjoying the beauty and solitude around us. When we were within an hour of our destination the most beautiful thunder and lightening storm erupted. We were so happy to be caught in it and to be so close to the warm and wonderful Bar and Hostal Frances in Guillena where we are to stay the night. We quickly showered and headed down stairs to enjoy a nice glass of wine and some wonderful Iberian ham and cheese. We are quite the celebrities having spent the night in Sevilla and witnessing the Semana Santa celebrations.
We are feeling refreshed and at peace in our souls as we began this trek. It will be close to 1000 km and we are excited to see what God would have for us. I think we smiled most of the day, excited to be back on the road again and enjoying the unencumbered life.
Thinking of you so very much. This time gives us hours to reflect on what we are so very thankful for. You are at the top of this list. You are loved.
Buen Camino
