    Foncebadon

    July 22, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 79 °F

    Arrived in Foncebadon, the highest point on the Camino Frances, 1510 meters, (lots of uphill walking today- but not too tough, our legs just seem to do it.😊), and we've begun our 10 day countdown to Santiago! It's beautiful, cool, and relaxing up here.
    A few words about food: in the morning, if the albergue has a kitchen, we fix coffee and musceli in the microwave, if not, we walk about 7k and stop at a bar for coffee, fresh squeezed OJ, and tortilla, (layers of egg, cheese, and potato). Along the walk, we eat fruit, hard boiled eggs, Napolitanos, (croissant with chocolate filling). Upon arriving, we usually have a beer and toast to our efforts of the day. 🍻For dinner, we get the Pilgrim meal offered by the albergue. For 13 Euros, we get a mixed salad or soup, a meat dish, dessert, and wine. Nothing too fancy, but it tastes good and fills our bellies!👍🏼Random photos along the way, showing the dramatic change in scenery; check out the Italian guy who hauled this trailer contraption, pulled by his bike, all the way up the mountain!; Disclaimer- no cats were disturbed in the taking of this photo.😂 Love to you all!❤️
