A Day On A Path
 |
| Part of the last two kilometers into Rabanal |
I’ve arrived in my “tonight” village. Lodging is down the street. As in THE street. I am barely in the village and hanging outside a bar/Mercado. 14 days to Santiago. That includes two rest days. There’s a mountain in there, folks. I’m finishing day 27 today.
The dirt trail was a welcome change!
2km from the stop for the day, but taking advantage of a roadside truck. Coke time! Pilgrims. This fellow is Italian. I’ve seen him off and on my entire walk. He started 3 days after me.
At least I know what a cheese sandwich is. I won’t starve or end up with anchovies…
20 km / about 12.5 miles. Astorga to Rabanal. Slowly uphill all day. 925 ft elevation gain.
From all of us old guys in Kansas City! We wish you a happy birthday, Mary!
When I got my bag, I discovered I’d left my kindle in Ledigos. I contacted them and they have it. I told them I’d find out the shipping charge to home and would add 10€ for their trouble. I’ll go to the post office in Astorga.
Here is the bus stop that takes me to Astorga…
And below, the arrival, same.
And the post office…
So, the day begins!
