It was raining when we left this morning! Got to test out my borrowed rain jacket (thanks Jude! It worked out awesome!:-)) Water cover for the backpack worked out too! Rain stopped not too long after we started and then it was mainly a cloudy day for walking. Lots of hills today and a couple of doozies! We found a bakery/cafe in the first town we came to, however the line up was huge so we kept going.
Met some new folks and caught up with folks we had met previously. Lots of stories including one from a woman from Edinburgh who can speak Polish. She was telling us that she had been plodding along and a couple of fellows passed her. As they passed she heard them reciting the rosary in Polish, she joined in as they passed praying in Polish. They looked at her but kept going. After climbing a hill and approaching a rest stop one of the fellows came down to her and asked if she and her friend would like to join them at mass. The fellow was a priest and so Eva and Kate actually had mass, in polish, on a hilltop in Spain! How cool is that?
We walked over a medieval bridge and then what is left of a Roman road. It was awesome to actually be walking where so many others had gone before, however walking was difficult as the road was really uneven. We eventually came to a part that had been washed out. A bit of a sketchy climb and I felt some new muscles kick in! Am glad that that bit is over!
We finally found our albergue about 4:30 yesterday. We were beat! It is in a building that looks like a school attached to a church. No bunk beds, cots instead! Had dinner (really good!) here although not until 8pm, so no bed until 10 or so.
