Forget the title, I did that just for Paul Gongora who tells his kids to never start a story with something like that.
We had a nice Apt. in Sto. Domingo for the price of an Albergue which was nice. On what is the new Main St., Calle San Roche and 2 blocks from the cathedral which is the historic center.
After the last couple days when the weather and countryside were so beautiful, today’s walk was a bit boring. Stopped in Azofra for my now regular Tortilla Espanola, cafe and OJ. Kittens all over who would eat bread or potatoes ( did you read that Boo?), they were fun to watch. I also caught up with the Kiwi’s, Carol and Letina.
The further we got, the less interesting it became. I noticed an old half timbered structure with massive old oak timbers and started to wonder how long they been in that building, 200, 500 years? Then, boredom talking, I became curious about how old the tree was that they felled to make that beam, 200, 500 years? Before Columbus? Was the tree growing before the Camino? Too much time does strange things to you but, still interesting.
Blisters on both heels, outside. The don’t hurt but are annoying. The clinic was open in the back of the Albergue Cuatro Cantones as the Pilgrims doctored their feet. Knees still slow to get started in the morning.
Beldorado doesn’t offer much, especially on a Sunday. The only way I knew it was Sunday is because it’s much slower in the towns, days don’t mean much, just the next stop.
Met Ed from Georgia and had dinner with him, seems like a nice guy. I haven’t met many jerks, The Camino I guess probably doesn’t appeal to certain types I guess.
Rene and Christa are here but I haven’t seen Sammi or Gabby, I expect they’ll turn up. While I enjoy meeting all the people, I do miss Susan.
Bedtime always comes early but tonight especially as we’re do close to 30km tomorrow with the possibility of some of it being in the rain. Rain means cool but it’s still walking in the rain.
