Sidewalk markers leading us out of town. Tomorrow I reach the halfway point. Seems I’ve been walking for months. Hard to believe it’s only been 3 weeks.

September 27 Fromista to Carrion de los Condes 19 km / 12 miles

September 27. Fromista. It’s 0830 and I’m still not out of my room. Not very smart since that will make for a long walk in the heat of the day. Walked into a head wind the last 6-7 miles yesterday, and got an impressive sunburn. The heat, wind, and sunburn wiped me out, so I slept in this morning. Woke at 0700 and I’m usually up at 0545.  More Meseta today. Walking to Carrion de Los Condes. 19 km

Carrion de Los Condes: Proprietor of the Cafe la Parada. I spent too much time roaming around the village & the restaurant was closed when I arrived. The nice proprietor gave me enough food to make a meal. He had been there over 16 hours and still made time for me. No charge. The villagers are always so kind to us.
