Didn’t pack my underwear!
I arrived quite safely but my extra underwear didn’t! It is the only thing I forgot to pack and so I will be living the slogan from the ExOfficio underwear I bought at REI: “one pair, six weeks”. It dries so fast that you only need one pair, wash it at night it is dried by morning.
Well, I washed mine last night, rolled it in my dry fast REI towel and put them right back on! Viola, they were dry.
Today was a rest day in St Jean Pied-dePort, the starting point of the Camino.
This day is dedicated to the students at Mt. Olive Academy whose only source for clean clothes is soap and elbow grease. This is the same combination I’ll be using the next six weeks to wash my clothes.
Like the students at Mt. Olive Academy, a boarding middle school funded by C2CKenya to provide a safe haven for the vulnerable children we support, I will have to line dry my clothes. I have quickly learned this is somewhat of a challenge when the rain won’t let up. Maybe C2CKenya should donate boxes of ExOfficio underwear to Mt. Olive for the rainy season that hits eastern African from January through May.
