Rabanal

     23 easy km and we are at the base of the mountain. Tomorrow we climb to the highest point of the Camino at 1505 meters. This is called Cruce de Ferro. It is here where I leave a couple of stones that I have brought with me. A heart shape rock from my sister Marilyn together with a special prayer from her. Second one is for Margie who I have spoken with but have never met. She has always been on my mind on this pilgrimage and I bring her rock with thoughts, prayers and well wishes for better health. Margie's enthusiasm for life and selfless struggles against constant difficulties are my highest inspiration.

     Tonight's evening mass in Rabanal was served by a group of Benedictine monks, sang in Gregorian chant, and spoken in a multitude of languages.
