• Camino Day 2

    June 2, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F

    The uphill today was remarkable. Overall distance was just under 19km, but we climbed nearly 2,500ft and that felt significant... And I averaged less than 2mph.

    Lots of cute sheep, cows, and horses. Epic soaring vistas.

    I'm happy with the amount of rest and look-around time. Overall I feel good, and tomorrow is purported to be an easier day.

    I was seeing the "check-knee" light blink a little towards the end so I am looking forward to a restful night.

    Dinner was a tasty trout, presumably local though I did not ask.

    I'm excited to be in Spain! I love this country and culture, and enjoy being able to engage in real conversation with the locals.... France was a fun challenge but pantomime and google -translate aren't the same as understanding someone.

    I'm really digging the water fountains. Publicly accessible water is such a simply wonderful indicator or civilization!
