Having carried a heart shaped rock from Virginia, I duly left it at the highest point on the Camino, La Cruz de Ferro, altitude 4,490 feet.
Plunging down 2,200 feet, the mid-day heat feels like summer in Prescott, Arizona. The temperature isn’t so high. It’s the intense of the sun that makes it uncomfortable and makes siesta inviting.
A Frenchman commented my appearance was so fresh. I simply smiled without divulging a three day rest at the Monistery.
Loved that you left a rock from your home state!
