Camino

Good weather today, cool morning, but warmed up by the time we made it to our albergue. More trees and corn fields dotted the landscape today. Got back into the grain fields as we reached Calzadilla.

We take a morning selfie each day, and it's usually the one I post first. Some looked refreshed other times, not so much. I guess I snored a lot last night, so Teresa's a little tired in the picture this morning.

If you were wondering, here is our routine for a day. Wake up at 6 am, do our morning duties (brush teeth, bathroom), gather our belongings, and move from the sleeping area to a common area to get ready. Doctor our feet or muscles, eat a banana, then hit the path between 0630 and 0700.

We walk 3 - 6 km to the next village to get coffee, OJ, and some food... hopefully. We then keep walking, and around 10ish, we stop at a bar/cafe to get a cold drink and a snack (or eat something we bought the night before). At this time, we kick off the shoes to let the feet breathe.

We start walking again. Usually, we'll stop to take in water, stretch, and/or take pictures. We keep walking until we reach our stop for the day, usually around 130 to 230pm. We check in, take a shower, wash clothes, hang them to dry, then get some lunch and a beer, or a tinto de verona.

After lunch, we siesta until dinner, usually around 7pm. After dinner we will buy bananas or other snacks to pack for the morning. We then fill our water bottles, doctor our feet, or apply muscle cream again and take some ibuprofen. We blog and head to bed around 9ish.

Then do it all over again in the morning. The life of a pilgrim.Okumaya devam et
