We return to Spain a little wiser, a little creakier, a grown up Parkinson person (PLWP) — still alive, still walking, but Parkinson is bringing more friends to walk with us. Some tip toe around me so I chant ‘heal first’ and like a Collie dog it obeys. Some stop me all together so I change direction and sing: “ these boots are made for walking……and they agree. I’m starting to lean to the right so an old friend is back, and it’s my back that suffers so exercises and meds are all I have and they get me moving. And, Corrie, is up and away…. A sore hip has gone but niggles, and a sore back after a flu shot is ready to walk,

Yesterday and today, we got comfy in Oviedo, a beautiful city, where you can walk against the red if the cars see green as long as they are not too close, but the car can’t go if it is green. So it is a walking friendly city where these rules allow a free flow, the cars slowing down because of this.

The Cat eee  dral (cathedral) in a sing song voice is on a hill just above us and the city. I’ve learnt another thing also. If locals tell me to go away, I sing the words and mostly they answer. It’s great, cause many words are similar to ours, it just needs a projective delivery and sing it.

We warmed up for our first day tomorrow. We find it is vital to check your route out of a city the day prior to leaving because sometimes you miss a vital clue because the city is large. That was nearly a days walk in itself. There were however complications so it was fortunate we went. But now there are complications with how to pay for luggage transfer. So back into making this a learning exercise and we are looking for an alternative way and that was to trust us, which they did.

So one more beautiful sleep (the best week I’ve had in a long time) and I am trying to find something that works, so it’s been back to basics. Another good day’s  walk tomorrow, that is, if you like rain
