Castrojeriz to Fromista: September 27

We had a wonderful communal meal last night with 10 people in our albergue. We caught up with Fernando from Brazil who was trying to heal from tendonitis in his heel.  There was also Catherine (firefighter from San Franciso) who was a doing the Camino by bike as well few French men, and 2 people from South Korea.  A French Canadian in our group started his Camino from deep inside France on August 11th and already walked 1100 kilometers.

The meal was served under a large wooden post and wooden screw that was used to crush grapes in medieval times. We were then escorted downstairs to a medieval wine cellar from the 10th century. We then went deeper into another room where we were shown where there was an escape route to the street as well as how this cellar was once connected to the castle in town. Incredible.

Today’s walk was a beast. We haven’t walked a 15 mile day in quite awhile.

We are healing our sore feet today with large mugs of “cervesas”.   The weather is here, I wish you were beautiful……….Tom
