Day 20 - Boadilla to Villacazar de Sirga

Today was our first day walking with major rain. We left the village seeing lightning and some loud thunder boomers. About 15 min into the walk, it started pouring. We donned our ponchos and kept moving, it rained like a mother. The girls we had been walking with, started a little later than us. They dodged back to the albergue to wait out the storm, hence they were the smart ones.

Had some breakfast about 5k in to dry out our feet as we sent our packs ahead and didn't pack another set of docks in our day pack. It was a short day today only. 13 miles. The cathedral in Villacazar is nice, built in the 13th century by the Templars in order to protect pilgrims on their way to Santiago.
