A day walking on the shoulder of the road required harder work to see the beauty of the day. The cinder shoulder provided softer footing but pepper-size pebbles found their way in your shoes. Shoes were repeatedly removed and shaken out.

The Chemin Des Outsouais had found accommodations which were located a day’s walking distance apart. These accommodations were described in broad strokes. Churches, community centers, and residents stepped up to the challenge. Tonight’s lodging was the basement of a home. Tiny feet pattered above our heads.

Dozens of turtles were making their way from the wetland to the cinder path. It was egg laying season without the benefit of a midwife. We passed a hundred mounds of cinder and sand where turtles had deposited eggs. Whenever one of us approached the turtles, they reposition themselves to be face-to-face. I could only imagine them saying, “Don’t mess with me or mine.”

Walking on water was exactly what Google.map showed as today’s route…until you zoomed-in. The thinnest bit of land laid between the wetlands and the river. It was a gem alive with small animals and vistas.

Life has a way of getting in the way even on the Camino. Elise needed to go home. Desperately she tried to arrange a taxi, Uber, or Lyft. No such convenience in small towns. Danielle arranged for her husband to pick her up. What kindness❤️.
