Today was a very long walk but I am happy to say I made it. We walked about 27-29km (depending on which book you look in). I actually started walking this morning at 615am...well before daylight. I was determined to start early as it seems that most of the pilgrims start that early, especially if they are staying in an albergue. Started out walking with the lady from Ottawa and a guy from Brazil. We caught up with the lady from Victoria and eventually one from Ireland. This afternoon we all seemed to hopscotch back and forth and I spent most of the afternoon walking with the Ottawa lady and a guy from Germany. It is amazing seeing the different terrain unfolding ahead. Right now, I am in the heart of wine country (Rioja region). The grapes are just coming into season and but unfortunately, the wine festivals don´t start for another couple of weeks. As well, there are plenty of almond and olive groves.
Anyhow, I am off to bed as tomorrow it is a 30km day. I hope I make it but at least I have accomodations secured in the next place.
Adios!
