Yellow Arrows - day 23

A little rest has worked its miracle and I feel well again. Amazing how powerful it is to sleep and do nothing.  We walked 18 km today only 33km left to arrive in Santiago!

Today's walk was beautiful and up and down across valleys and up and down hills. 

A little 'shop' along the trail with frah cherries and bananas. 

Weather continues gorgeous with sunny warm days and cool nights. Couldn't be nicer.

Yellow arrows of all sorts mark the Camino. 

On the road.

On a sign pole.

On a wall and on the concrete marker.

Into a tunnel.

On this bridge it's yellow strings to mark the way.

You can never see far ahead on the Camino.  As you approach any sort of intersection you have to wait til you are in it to find the yellow arrow. 

The arrows may also be on the ground made of stones or wood. You have to keep you eyes alert for clues to what is the next right step.

Sometime you can't miss it. 

Here is a poem I brought with me that I've been thinking about as I took yellow arrow pictures today.  I think it is from a book about walking meditation by  Tich Nhat Hanh 

The Path is You

The path is you.

That is why it will never tire of waiting.

Whether it covered with red dust, 

Autumn leaves,

Or icy snow,

Come back to the path.

You will be like the Tree of Life.

Your leaves, trunk, branches,

And the blossoms of your soul

Will be fresh and beautiful,

Once you enter the practice of Earth Touching
