I went to Muxia in search of a healing rock for back pains. I don’t suffer from this ailment but some members of my family and friends do. The legend says that the Virgin Mary appeared to St James on a boat that became the rocks in Muxia. One special rock has healed many people with back pains but you must crawl underneath it nine times in order that your prayer for healing is answered. So I did this and asked for healing for all whom I knew needed it greatly.

It was a great day weatherwise and I enjoyed being outdoors with the sea waves crashing against the rocks. It was not cold and I could have stayed here for a longer period but we needed to catch our only bus back to Santiago at 2:30pm. I have done what I needed to do so it was alright to have a short but very sweet time in Muxia.

It is April 20 today and I am currently in Chane Spain. I have tossed/donated most of my camino clothes and other items. I have cleaned up real good for return to civilization. Some of the clothes I brought with me, regular clothes do not fit anymore and so I am having to donate these too. Yes I have lost some weight, not too much but it is noticeable when I put on pants and jeans.

I sign off on this adventure of a lifetime and will continue on the rest of my European trip. My log book will be my writing vehicle from now on.

Much love Hilda
