Hello everybody!
Today we climbed a very steep mountain called Alto de Perdon, which means Peak of Forgiveness. Nothing forgiving about it. Most of the uphill battle was fought in deep mud.
I can´t believe the rain in Spain. We have breaks of sun, but I have no tan yet. Boohoo.
Hi to everybody! No time left to write... gah.
BTW, we are in Puente la Reina.

Capturing the essence of Jess and Becky's painful yet awesome journey along the Camino de Santiago. Who knew you would be so jealous of such suffering?
DirtyPilgrims.com is not what it sounds like. Joke's on you, perv.
But seriously, folks: Becky and Jess are two Canadian girls embarking on a six-week-long walk across Spain. For us, the 800-900km route begins in a small, French town called St. Jean Pied du Port and ends in Santiago (but extends to the coastal town of Finesterre if we have the energy).
El Camino de Santiago has religious origins and translates into English as "the Way of St. James". Nowadays, the Christian Pilgrimage route is followed by thousands of people each year for many different reasons. Read our blog to find out why we've chosen to take on this crazy endeavor.

Servants Poor Professor Higgins!
Poor Professor Higgins! Night and day
He slaves away! Oh, poor Professor Higgins!
All day long On his feet; Up and down until he's numb;
Doesn't rest; Doesn't eat;
Doesn't touch a crumb! Poor Professor Higgins!
Poor Professor Higgins! On he plods Against all odds;
Oh, poor Professor Higgins! Nine p.m. Ten p.m.
On through midnight ev'ry night.
One a.m. Two a.m. Three...! Quit, Professor Higgins!
Quit, Professor Higgins! Hear our plea
Or payday we Will quit, Professor Higgins!
Ay not I, O not Ow, Pounding pounding in our brain.
Ay not I, O not Ow, Don't say "Rine," say "Rain"...
Eliza The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain!
Henry By George, she's got it! By George, she's got it!
Now, once again where does it rain? Eliza On the plain!
On the plain! Henry And where's that soggy plain?
Eliza In Spain! In Spain! The three
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain!
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain! Henry
In Hartford, Hereford, and Hampshire...?
Eliza Hurricanes hardly happen.
How kind of you to let me come! Henry
Now once again, where does it rain?
Eliza On the plain! On the plain! Henry
And where's that blasted plain?
Eliza In Spain! In Spain! The three
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain!
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain!
