Astorga, Spain

Just under 14 miles on a blustery, grey, drizzly, perfect walking weather day. We left our albergue all layered up expecting rain (it *poured* last night) but it never really materialized. We had a very comfortable walk through mostly agricultural land to Astorga, the site of some of Spains most important roman ruins and artifacts. Melanie is a roman history buff and we plan to visit the museum tomorrow. She is a *very* happy person. On our way into town we stopped by a partial dig of a roman residence and I saw my first mosaic floor. Quite a difference to just seeing them on "Time Team". We will take a zero day tomorrow and do some more exploring
