I am pleased to say that Gretchen is feeling better today. Her wound still has a long way to go before healing, but the penicillin seems to be doing the trick. She still has no fever which is a good sign.
She rested in the morning and then we made plans on where to go tomorrow. We don't want to push it too much as she still needs to be very careful. So, we are going to Lorca, which shouldn't be too bad.
We have it set for our bags to be picked up here in the morning before we leave and they will be waiting for us at our Albergue. My day backpack will fit our water and snacks and we will stop along the way whenever necessary. The hot weather has finally eased a bit.
Gretchen and I went for a walk into town this afternoon which she thouroughly enjoyed after being cooped up in the albergue for three days. She felt strong and good.
This picture was taken on the way back. I just thought it looked pretty with the beautiful begonias and drying red chili peppers (I think that's what they are).
I was a little confused until I realized there was more than one Lorca. The first search showed a Lorca down on the Mediterranean coast. Then I found the right one, just a few kilos down the road. WHEW!!

DeleteYou two MUST be VERY careful, you hear me Gretchen!!!! This is a great thing you are doing but you have to be reasonable too. We think we are always able to do everything but God is sending a message to slow and easy to be able to finish your journey. Love to both of you.
ReplyDeleteWe will be very careful. We promise.
DeleteGlad Gretchen is improving....penicillin is a wonderful thing. No fever = no infection so that's also good. Take it easy and slow!
