Such an easy day, it was almost disconcerting. It was supposed to be raining all morning, there were fewer miles, and we were getting picked up by a shuttle at 3, so there was no reason to sprint out. So I didn’t! I actually slept on and off, but really woke up at 7:30. Incredible. Ate a full breakfast with Sue, then we both set off, though at different times.
Didn’t go into a single church today, but couldn’t resist a few photos. I just continue to be amazed and delight in these ancient small quiet towns. It’s horrible that they are all shrinking in population, but oh, they’re pretty to walk through. Loved the fountain in this town – the faces looked like the carver had a sense of humor!
This last one is a building that’s now a home, but was the original (with update fix ups) of a hostel/hospital for pilgrims from the 13th c.
Couldn’t resist this little hermitage with the bells ringing from the church at the top:
And the art along the way:
The one two above is the FIRST I’ve seen of a woman depicted as a pilgrim and there were a lot of them.
Finally a brief video of the terrain I was seeing. I’m in the Meseta now, 7 days of walking through flatlands. If it’s like today, I don’t know why people think it’s such a flat meditative walk because of it’s lack of interest. It’s beautiful. And meditative!
Reb's Walks! 
What a fabulous adventure Rebecca. We had dinner with your Rick and we talked all about your journey.
