Not an abundance of restaurants in this small town. Some of those listed are closed. Found one with outdoor dining but the weather is taking a turn for the worse.
Thunder. Lightning. Leaky canopy. No rain gear.

September 20 Arrived Belorado
It started to rain at the end of this walk. Not one of my better days. Staying at the Pension Toñi. They have a shower. And that’s the first thing.

September 19 Santo Domingo A Summary from the Home Front…
This is John writing in the first person. I’m going to share a summary of our conversation of this evening, and sprinkle in a few photos she has shared with me. Mary has had a long trip today, pushing the limits of her comfort zone, but doing well, ne’er the less. Her original lodging plans didn’t work out as well as expected, but she’s found accommodations more to her liking.
Within this post, there are some photos she’s taken while sipping a glass (or two) of wine and chatting with me via the usual channels.
Through the miracles (read: technology) of Google StreetView, I can get a glimpse of where she is. So, with the give and take of chatting, I can pretty much get a sense of the environment. Amazing, really.
She had the opportunity to share a table with some local folks that may have been our for dinner, given how they were dressed. Mary and the lady to the right shared some language via iPhone text messages, some how. The young lady spoke a little English. Mary has been enjoying mingling with local folks along the way and has found them to be very friendly.

September 19 Arrived Santo Domingo de la Calzada
This is not where I was going to stay. But it’s nicer than where I had reservations. The other place was in a questionable part of town. Better safe than sorry.
It has four beds… !
Today’s distance: 14.68 miles. Whew.
I will forage for food after I somehow retrieve my backpack from the other place.
The merchants don’t open till 5 PM. They’re having a siesta.
