Walking into...

5-27-13
We started walking today.  We started on the metro and it was crazy. Little did we know that the stop we were headed for was the cite of a celebration. Much like the Fourth of July this celebration had marches and masses of people. With flyers and crowds, we were lost. We wandered and wandered and finally came to a group of official looking people. They had those neon yellow vests of information and hope. We asked them for the pilgrim office and they pointed as along. After wandering some more, there on the too of the hill has a fountain with a small shell on it.  For those that don't know the whole Camino is marked with shells and yellow arrows. There are drinking fountains with agua vida(potable water, but literally living water) along the path as well.
Finding that little shell on the fountain was amazing. We felt as though we had just found salvation, found a light in darkness, found the way. We followed the small yellow arrows. Each one like a little beacon. They took us much to where we started, but we didn't care. At least we knew where we were going. We walked for another 8 miles before calling it quits for the day.
