Boadilla del Camino

We woke at 6am in Castrojeriz to leave by 7am after breakfast to walk 2km+, to get to the point we started a climb up 1050 meters to catch the sunrise before 8am. Stunning!!!
We later came upon, not a ruin so much, as an old church. This church was so many things. There was a coffee pot outside with cups ( donate if you can) . You could get a ‘Stamp’, those ‘prove’ where you have walked. ( I will up load some photos of the stamps at the end) and bathrooms!! 😃
The small inside was simple and amazing. A carving and a sculpture, simple and beautiful! Surrounded by leaded glass windows.
Today was only a 5-6 hour walk along ‘The Way/ Camino. We are happy to have arrived at the end of another cold crisp day! The wind has come up. It’s blowing outside. ( Again, I’d like to mention it’s usually in the high 80’s and nineties. We are walking in 65-68 degrees with a breeze! It’s fall weather here!
A bit of a highlight. As we walked we watched a drone spreading fertilizer or pesticides over a field, inches over the crop. Efficient, fast and so high tech!
Jumping back to a great communal dinner at the Alburgue we stayed at, at our table of ten we sat across from a 40+ yr old dad and 14 yr old son who were walking from Burgos home to an area in Galacia. A week or two of walking together, a promise and trip Papa had made to himself 20yrs ago and invited his son. The son’s English was very good. The father’s was about as good as my Spanish. It made me wish again more Americans were fluent in other languages. I personally wold love it. 😊.
We continue to cross paths with people we have met along the Camino, for example: Anna, from Denmark, Jamie ,from the UK, Bill the retired teacher from Connecticut, Caroline from Canada, Sonny(?) from Hawaii, and so many others!
We are almost half way!!!! We still like each other and the weather is perfect! 🥰Read more
