We can’t believe it’s October already! We’ve been very lucky with the weather, even in the Meseta it’s been chilly in the morning and mid 70’s in the afternoon.
Today we had to wait until 7 am for breakfast and carry food and water because there would be nothing available for almost 20 kilometers. We had cheese and crackers by the roadside while we gave our feet a rest.
We walked through fields of wheat and corn for another 25 k until we finally arrived at Reliegos and the Elvis Bar. This somewhat famous bar has a character for an owner, great music and anot interesting atmosphere. There are markers on the counter and you can leave your mark if you choose. My favorite was Carpe Diem.
We had the great surprise of running into several people we haven’t seen in a while. It was really nice to catch up with them.
Tomorrow we’re in Leon and have a much needed day of rest planned.
A belated congrats on making it halfway! It’s hard to believe that as I’m going through my hectic day you are traveling through such beautiful and historical scenery. Rob is making fun of me but I’m curious to know…how do you guys pass the time when you’re walking?
Sometimes we talk to each other, sometimes we talk to people who pass us by, sometimes we talk to peregrinos (pilgrims) when we stop for coffee and sometimes we are in so much pain we don’t talk at all. Every day is different. We love the unexpected surprises that happen every now and then like seeing someone you haven’t seen in weeks.
