Day 9. Uterga to Lorca

A very nice day. Left Uterga with a beautiful sunrise. Walked thru fields of poppies. The walk was lined with wild roses, honey suckles and Spanish brooms. Walked with a young from Germany. Ferdinand. Had such a sweet smile and so eager to talk to us Americans. When we got to Obanos, we saw an old cathedral with rough sidewalk. Past cemetery and olive trees and vineyards. After climbing, we came to a wonderful surprise at the top of a hill. A young g woman had cold water, juice and wine. Also slices of pineapples and oranges, pears and apples. Bread with olive oil and salt. Such a blessing. Got into Lorca at 1530. Showered and did our laundry. Dinner at 6. Ran into Rachel, 75 year old that had lost her passport her first day. She had to go to Madrid to try to replace it. Good to see her again
