Los Arcos, Spain

It’s been a lonely, sick week. I am still troubled by tummy issues. Imodium is helping, but not a lot. Still testing positive for Covid. According to CDC (Center for Disease Control in the USA) rules, I am no longer contagious. Since I can’t go back to the United States until fully clear, I have decided to walk the Camino from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela.  

Alyssa arranged my train tickets and hotel reservations. I’ll be taking a cab to Logrono and then train to Madrid. I’m looking forward to being in the world again. I hope it makes me feel better and get the Camino magic back.

When I was at my lowest, Mila, the pensione owner, offered to make me a chicken and rice meal. I started crying. I felt like a lifeline had been thrown to me in this country where I was completely alone and no one cared. 

Still testing positive
