Day 28 - Villavente to Astorga

Our 1st rainy day on camino!!!

Rainy days generally make me feel pretty moody, so I didn't start out with a great mindset today!

BUT... once on the path again, hearing the frogs croak and seeing the plants drink up all that yummy rainwater, made it all ok! ☺️

I was grateful for a calm day with no wind, a pebbly surface that prevented me from sinking into the mud and for the mindfulness that this weather provides, keeping me in the here and now 🙌

However, we made one mistake today in not taking the longer 'scenic route' - and ended up on the side of the highway in long grass, with trucks whizzing by 😬...not pleasant at all!

We arrived in Astorga with the sun shining through the clouds and the most beautiful buildings...wish I had longer to explore this place!

Today is officially the end of the Meseta and the 'mind' phase - tomorrow, we commence the 'spiritual' or 'soul' phase! 🙏Læs mere
