Day 4. STG 16. Carrión de los Condes

Recovery day with only 11 miles on the docket.

Met an interesting couple who walked the Camino 10 years ago - Stephen and Lesley. He was a nurse and she was a teacher. They mentioned how much has changed on the Camino. It's much more commercial nowadays and built-up. I guess it felt more remote. They were cute holding hands in front of us as they walked.

Had an in-depth conversation with Stephen about the medial field and how patient care has evolved over the last 30 years. Especially those in senior citizen care and hospices. Extremely fascinating. Dealing with implementing cultural change.

It was an uneventful walk with lots of open space, but way too much exposure to the sun. Plus, being able to see all the way down to where you are going makes for a very long day.

Staying at an Albergue supported by nuns. Getting scolded in spanish seems a little bit harsher. Nice facilities, though. Everyone has been hand washing their clothes since it's such a beautiful day. Large group of South Koreans at this place.もっと詳しく
