Today we scheduled a shorter walk because we wanted to breakup a twenty-six mile hike into two thirteen mile days. It had a lot of elevation changes along with distance and we just decided it was not doable for us. We are so happy we did it this way.
Along the way we noted that there was a bar/cafe slightly off the trail and decided to splurge early in the day and have a cup of hot chocolate. The bar was closed when we arrived but very quickly a beuatiful women in a sofr blue sweater opened the door and invited us into her home. She hummed along as she prepared our chocolate and brought us cookies and candies as well. Her home was in the cafe and although the cafe was officially closed she prepared us a little treat. From her cupboards she pulled out pastries and little bags of candy for us to carry with us. Not many people leave the trail to see her and she was happy to see us.
Her kindness was beautiful and truly made our day. I am inspired to practice acts of kindness as I am reminded of the impression it has made on my heart. We are thinking of you especially and pray your day is full of kindness as well. You are loved...
Buen Camino!
