Then I meet John and Vicki from Ireland. Hearing about my Achilles heel struggles, Vicki introduces me to another woman at a nearby table who’s also having trouble walking. The woman shares that she walks part way and then takes the bus when she needs to. The bus? You can do that? I’m all ears as I talk with my fellow ailing pilgrim. I look at the huge blister swelling over the bottom of my left foot, I think about the heel pain that is not getting any better, and I ask for directions on how to catch the bus tomorrow.
