Amenal

I loved the hotel we stayed at in just outside Arzua for the past two days. The owner gave us a tour of the beautiful grounds of gardens, forests, wonderful plants and trees. The property has been in her family since the 1700´s. She created a museum of all the tools and treasures from her ancestors.

Gardens at our hotel

After Mass this morning we left Arzua and walked through mostly forested areas and farmland. We met as a group and had a delicious lunch in the town of Salceda. It was a challenging walk after lunch as the temperature spiked near 90 degrees. Our guide told us this is very unusual weather. Usually it is cool and rainy. Except for the first day we walked it has been very warm and sunny. We tolerated the heat and walked  the 13 miles to the town of Amenal. Our poor feet! Very sore today.

Tomorrow we will be in Santiago! Amazing. Thanks for your prayers and love.
