Day 15 – the day the Camino broke Trish; it actually was a relatively short and not too difficult walk (25 km) but my injuries included a new large blister on my left heel and my right leg is swollen and hurts

Day 15 – look at the red cross on these cloaks; most of the Camino shells pilgrims wear on their backpacks contain this same red cross
