32º F this morning as we start off. Thankfully, there is no wind. We have a shortish hill climb to a plateau that warms us right up, then its endless plains for the next 13 miles…..today. We run into an odd person yesterday, calling himself “The Politician” wheeling a urinal behind him on one of…

The morning of our day off started off with us going to the Cathedral de Santa Maria de Burgos. The second largest Cathedral in Spain. It was pretty darned big. I heard some singing, so I went in and they were having a service. So, we went in. There were only about 10 of us…

It was pitch black in the bunk house. My watch has a alarm setting that vibrates at the proper time so I don’t disturb anyone. So, I got up, washed my face, brushes my teeth and came back to the bunk. I laid there waiting to see if anyone else was getting up. I didn’t…

After a nice normal breakfast, we headed out into the chilly morning to one again immediately start up a hill. Not a small hill. It was a roughy 500 foot uphill climb for a good 3 kilometers. Then a quick, steep downhill descent for about 150 feet. Right after breakfast. Right outta the door. Whew….

What a glorious night of sleep! After dinner our fabulous salads, I stumbled upstairs to crawl into bed and was out before 8pm. We didn’t start this morning until 8:40, so after waking at 6am I took my time packing and just enjoying the comfortable room. The only issue was that I had no cell…

Oof. This morning was not good for me. After all the spaghetti bolognase and meatballs the night before, I was nauseous and my intestines were working overtime. No way was I going to be able to leave at 7. I can’t imagine trying to quickly find a bathroom in the middle of a mown field….

I know you guys have been waiting on an update. and I’m sorry this has taken so long to get out. The internet has been sketchy at times. Or, honesty, I’m too flipping tired to do anything by lay down on the bed and rest. We started out earlier than normal because we had such…

Today started out pretty normally. Except that the second we shut the apartment door, Bruce discovered he left his sticks behind. So, I contacted the owner and requested they be transported with our bags to the next destination. We walked out of Logroño along a really nice hike and bike trail up to a beautiful…

We only had somewhere around 6 miles to get from Viana to Logroño, so we started at 9am. The temperature had dropped to about 65 degrees starting out, which made it much more pleasant. The trail was also relatively flat, thankfully, because my shins were sore from the steep down hills from the day before….

I am combining the last two days into one post because we didn’t take that many photos. It’s all the same landscape right now: Mown fields of hay or wheat or something, and ripe vineyards ready to be harvested. Country roads, no trees and no shade. There is really no one on the Camino right…
