Santibañez de valdeigesias and Rabanal

I forgot to post yesterday, and it’s already a blur. Let’s see - it was a reading, chilly day until toward the end when it stopped raining, but it was never a downpour. As I walked I kept crossing paths with Linda from Canada and Morne’ (sounds a lot like Monet) from South Africa at the various eateries, and that was fun. We had shared a lovely albergue the previous night. Linda stopped before we did and Morne’ and I went on to the same place last night, which was also a nice stop. We walked together all day today, making this just the second time on this trip I’ve spent a day walking with another person, and we were good company to each other on what was a longer walk of about 32 Km.
And no, friends and family, do not send excited inquiries. Morne’ is gay.
We have now left the Meseta! We started to climb a bit today, but tomorrow is the big day, with a steep uphill to the Cruz de Ferro and an even longer, steeper downhill, which I recall as not my hardest day last time. Send good energy!
And warmth! Apparently this hospitalero sees no need to turn on the heat, and it’s maybe 45 in here? Sleeping in layers tonight for sure!Read more
