Oviedo - Day 1

No walking today, other than touring around towns. I left Colunga by bus after my TWO breakfasts! It was rainy and cool, and I hadn’t realized how hungry I was after just having yogurt and a 2-day old croissant for dinner last night. 🙄

Now I’m in my pension in Oviedo for night one. I’ll move to a real apartment tomorrow to finish off my trip. It’s supposed to rain tomorrow, but I still might venture out to walk the first stage of the Primitivo, just because I miss the walking.

Here’s my FB post from this afternoon. I was quite overcome by feelings about this Camino and my place in it.

Camino magic. I was on the bus just arriving in Villaviciosa where I had to make a bus connection to Oviedo, and I had just translated the message I saw yesterday. The first bus was 30 minutes late, so I didn’t know if I would even make it in time. I got off the first bus and the next one was pulling away, two minutes after the scheduled departure. I waved at the driver and he stopped for me. Now I’m on the bus to Oviedo feeling very watched over. ❤️
