Mansilla de las Mulas

On our trek to Mansilla, the meseta is transforming from endless dry wheat fields, to irrigated corn and cattle production. Photos: trees wrapped in afghans along the route, hug back!; Remnants of the old Roman wall fortress that surrounds Mansilla has been reinforced over the years and is 10 feet wide in some parts- 75 percent of the walls still remain; the arch that is the entrance to the city; tower that provides for the city's running water system; another church at daybreak. Finishing the evening comparing feet with a man from London and a woman from Italy. Their feet included bloody infections and blisters with threads running through them to help with drainage. I had nothing to compare to the carnage. So grateful for my strong, healthy feet. We trek to Leon, tomorrow, with the promise of cooler weather. Ojala.😊 Love to you all!Read more
