Ampolla (blisters)

At last I can update the blog directly.Thanks for the help so far Fiona & Terry.(don't go away way we may not see a computer for a while).
11:25 hrs Monday 4th August we are guests of Sofía & Luis José at the Auberge in the basement of 'Escuela Maritimea Pesquera' on the hill top of San Vincente de la Barquera.Sofia seems to have a vocation to Pellegrinos Ampolla - to cure them.
The last entry should have read 'Paul not the Valiente'.
I have a day of enforced rest -Sofia's instructions.I have exacerbated the blisters by getting sand inside them!Also by using compeed which is akin to a swear word to Sofia.
LJ & S speak Spanish & French -my 20 words of French have been flogged to death this trip!LJ seems to have fun with the stupid mono glot English -everyone laughed when I heard the word Inglis.
Not only do they provide a hearty 3 course Pellegrinos evening meal & breakfast they have gone 'the extra mile' (kilomtetre?) to allow us to stay the whole day on premises - most places kick out by 0800.LJ provided me with a comfy deckchair in the sun a cushion on a rock to put my feet up (per S's orders)& a pile of English language books.
It is clear they are wonderful people.
(2 Dutch pilgrims just arrived 11:30 hrs -having set off at 05:30.They have walked from Holland!)
It would be great to do somthing similar in the Holy Land on a Jesus Way from Galilee to Jerusalem...
We would like to record our thanks to Dr Vincente Garcia Ruix for giving 'pegleg' (K's nomme de guerre)a lift from Santander to Santillana del Mar.
It has been a great journey so far met all sorts of people.Some more arrived 11:55 hrs Max & Sophie.
Later I will try upload our photos but don't hold your breath.
