Today was a wonderful day with magic in the mist. The fountain below was one of 2 that I saw and it was right at the beginning. In the afternoon, it got long and hot, but happily got water at a cafe. I managed to not get a headache today for the first time between extra electrolyte and making sure I drink enough.
Like yesterday, few stories, mostly photos, it was SO beautiful today.
Thank goodness for Summer. Last night’s Wi-Fi was really weak, didn’t even get my email off to her and I was trying and trying to figure out the Hospitales versus Primitivo for the next stage. The choice came about halfway through and people were talking about it. I called her when I first started out and Summer looked at the monastery I wanted to see, and all the hospitals from the first of the caminos, and calculated mileage. But they were all ruins, no cafes at all and an extra 6 miles. At first I thought, well, 23 miles, that’s not so bad. Then I thought, am I crazy?! So – didn’t go that route.
Saw this instead…
So hot and tired and out of water and found this little place after hours. Really, there was only 1 place all day up to this point. This was an hourish away from my destination, but as soon as I saw it, I sat down. The woman was so nice, happy to see a customer and made a great sandwich, not normally my favorite and it was delicious. In the midst, her husband went out to the fields and brought the dairy cows in for milking. My seating area was redolent of cows and I loved it. The dairy is that open door, the kitchen was behind the window to my right. Close quarters!
