Astorga

We stayed in the beautiful city of Astorga for an extra day for a little rest.  Today was a 13 mile walk to Rabanal Del Camino. A nice quaint Pueblo with ancient ties to the Camino. Mostly level walk except for last mile which turned into a very narrow trail with many rocks. Temperature was in the mid 50s with billowing white clouds covering 90 percent of the sky. Here are a couple of photos I took on the way.  Also see next post regarding tomorrow. 20130515_121135

    Your photos are so much fun to look thru … And your description of your daily routine was so lovely…. It’s as if we get to be there with you…..without the blisters….Love you both.

    The countryside looks so very nice. I believe some Irish person long ago
    said that there are 42 shades of green. I wonder, but consider the source.
    My thoughts will be with both of you tomorrow as the climb to the Iron Cross
    will be challenging. Kay
