Rest day 2 in Logroño

This morning, we had the AC Hotel breakfast. A huge buffet spread with hot and cold items, fruit, pastries, cereal, but sorry Matthew, no biscuits (or gravy). Afterward, we walked to church at the Church of Santiago Real. On our way, we donated Phil's old pack at the albergue associated with the church.

It was a nice service. Today's homily was about Christ being temped by Satan in the desert. There was a youth group visiting which sang for the congregation after the service.

Then we walked back toward the hotel and stopped for lunch at the same place as 2 days ago. Lots of large, multigenerational families dining together. The waitress had to check to make sure there was room for us since we had no reservation. We were at a tiny table in a back room!

Today, I actually chose the bean soup (not tripe by mistake as I did the other day). Then I had a stewed rabbit for my main course. We had apples for dessert. We cut up and split one and took the other with us for tomorrow's walk.

Now we are at the laundromat again washing our walking clothes so we can start fresh tomorrow. I know it seems we talk about laundry a lot, but when you only have two outfits and 3 changes of undies, laundry is an important and necessary task.Read more
