| Breakfast at the Parador |
16 miles today. Mostly in the rain. I had breakfast at the Parador. Late start - 9 am.
I walked with Mike Snow, one of the ATP. Old friend of Don’s. Mike lives in Auburn. He is a retired contractor. He only walked 10 miles. I did the last 6 or so alone.
I lost my poles. I did not use them today. We made a couple of short stops and I put them down somewhere and forgot them. C’est la vie. Michele and Lea did the same thing today. The last 3-4 miles were bad. Up a steep muddy trail in the pouring rain.
Our Albergue was at the top. I found Justin and Lea waiting for me. I was cold and wet. I made it in my sandals, surprisingly well. Everyhad soup. Lentils and chorizo. I had two bowls and a beer. Sting arrived and bought me another beer.
I can’t remember being this cold. I just took a hot shower. I am in my lower bunk (which Lea saved for me!) writing this with cold feet. Still raining out.
I had on my goretex pants and rain jacket all day. Pilgrim dinner at six.
Sorry-that’s all there is today.
Love,
b
