Mansilla de las Mulas

Well I get to celebrate my 59th birthday in Spain that’s a gift in itself. We had breakfast at our Albergue and the other pilgrims sang me “Happy birthday” to start the day.
We got out the door and started walking not knowing that we’d be walking over 10 miles before we got to a town. About mile 7 we stopped at an abandoned building and ate some snacks to stave off our hunger 😋
When we got to town we had a great lunch and chatted with a group of our fellow pilgrims. The good news was we only had about five miles left when we headed out.
We went to the market and Jim and Melanie bought the makings for our dinner. I walked to a bakery and bought dessert and met the kindest man, he gave me a Spanish birthday greeting, wished me a buen Caminó and a beautiful life and a kiss on both cheeks (photo is posted).
We’re staying at a lovely private home and we had a wonderful dinner outside in the backyard. I’m so blessed to be doing life with my sweet hubby and sharing this adventure with our dear friends who are now family Jim and Melanie. As always I’m grateful and blessed. KatRead more
