Gordon is Human

Well it took twenty one years to see any signs, but it seems Gordon is human after all. What… he broke his leg you ask? A sprained ankle ? Perhaps sunstroke and dehydration? No a muscle in his leg cramped. He actually took an ibuprofen, after limping the last 15 kilometers of a 38 kilometer day. He even momentarily considered riding my bike if I had been anywhere near. Instead I was at the Albergue singing and sharing a guitar with Jernij from Slovenia and two young Québécois .
Where is my compassion you ask? Of course I have lots, but after my own history of afflictions it’s nice to know that he has limits too. We will make a shorter day tomorrow, and hopefully he will be just fine.
