Only 8 miles today, a purposefuly short day. The book has this stage at 18.5 miles. I see no reason to push for that distance, so I am in the only village on the direct route. Today was cold again, but warming somewhat, occasional light rain, and wind generally coming from the front. The really good news is few muddy places on the trail. It surprises me how much fighting the elements drains your strength. Today I was hungry, so had a wonderful Pilgrim lunch with grilled fresh salmon, and another entire bottle of a lovely local Rioja red wine (one glass is plenty for me). I am now 'chilled out' in my simple room, resting up for a bigger day tomorrow.

Hi:
ReplyDeleteI am a friend of Jim's. We have done a lot of riding together and he knew I wanted to do the Camino, so he set me your blog. The pictures and country side look great. The rain and cold not so much. You must be pretty tough.
