    We have had a long, cold, wet day, but we are finally here! We are in a nice apartment for 2 nights.

    It was lightly raining when we left this morning, and we dropped pur ponchos over our packs. Soon, it was raining harder, so we put them on properly and wore them the rest of the day.

    Today's walk was muddy and hilly. We saw a lot of pilgrims, including one who had apparently adopted Phil's old pack in Logroño. We are glad the pack has a new owner . We also stopped at a golf course club house bar that was about halfway on the journey. It was packed with pilgrims, but not a golfer in sight in this rain!

    Phil's resting, and I am doing some washing (again). We have a nice kitchen, so I will go out in a little bit and get something to cook for supper.    Read more
