Day 8 Logrono Rest Day

Today is the only full rest day I have planned. Slept in a bit and went to a laundromat. Changed into my sarong in the bathroom there and washed every single thing I had with me. Very cold for 1.5 hours, but nobody blinked an eye and it’s glorious to have truly clean clothes again. Picked up an adapter and some saline and chores were done.

Made the rounds of the major sites in the Casco Antigua. No celebrity status today, just another poorly dressed Americano in a fleece with socks and sandals.

Had a late lunch / early dinner on Calle Laurel, a really cool street known for tapas and just good food overall. I was there early so it wasn’t crowded at all, but I guess it is packed in the evenings. Had a great meal of artichokes and octopus. American metal and hair bands are a big thing here - everyone was playing it and singing along. Generally hear older American music wherever I go now that I think of it.

It’s 4 pm now and I’m hunkered down in my room with no plans other than to shower, pack, read a little for the first time this trip, and go to bed early. High mileage day tomorrow, and the point of today was to rest the body. Still did 5 miles for chores and a little sight-seeing.Baca lagi
