Terradillos de los Templarios

15 and some today. This was my first camino morning waking to thoughts of "ugh, more walking". I was amused by recognizing that it took over 200 miles to feel that way and also how quickly my thoughts changed to "ok, lets get going we have a big day today". The camino.
I was fairly uncomfortable during the first half of my walk this morning due to ankle pain, but with the right balance of Advil and attitude the day progressed well.
It was another day of relatively straight walking paths, beautiful skies (when I looked up) and spectacular weather. Our Albergue is a dorm style hostal and accommodations are very tight. They have squeezed spare mattresses in just about every nook and cranny to provide a bed for those pilgrims without. Even inside the front hallway. Our room contains 4 sets of bunkbeds and a mattress on the floor. At least we have a place to sleep. Shared sleeping spaces are hard for me because I snore and it bothers others.
Tomorrow is another day on this wonderful journey and while it would be easy to think "ugh, more walking", everyday is completely unique, with its own challenges and magical moments.
