    Walked to Logrono today. Yesterday’s hostel in Torres’s del Rio left much to be desired - the bunk beds seemed to be out of a WWII Army surplus store, the host was obnoxious and the dinner was salad and pasta - which somehow tasted awful.
    My knee continues to feel good. After walking into town I was able to get a much needed haircut.
    I’m in middle of a large wave of pilgrims moving along the Camino, so booking a room is starting to be more of a challenge and takes more calls/messages than the first week did. Tomorrow is also a national holiday, adding to the challenge. If this is my biggest issue, things are good!
    Walking into Logrono a number of us noticed black smoke rising in the city - we thought it was a large fire, until we reached the edge of the city and noticed we were walking by the municipal crematorium, the source of the smoke. What a welcome!
    The restaurant I was at for dinner was giving away funny glasses… maybe it will be my new eye mask at night 😂
