September 21 Ibeas de Juarros Blog Bulk Update

Today has been a little unusual, for a number of reasons. Conveyance between points has been through combined travel modes of foot/leg and taxi. Further, the EU SIM card contract ran out of minutes, disabling interested followers from keeping abreast of travel updates. And then there is a sore knee thrown into the mix, now having some time to recover for tomorrow’s continued adventure.

Paraphrasing Mary:

“I had to wait until I was in a village where I could use WiFi to recharge the card. I left Abelard this morning, walked about 8 miles through four villages and am now in the fourth one, Villafranca Montes de Oca. My knee is hurting and there’s a big hill and a 4-5 hour walk to the next village, so decided to call this a short day. Just 8 miles which is about halfway from my original plan. All is well. It’s just getting time for a rest day which happens soon.”

Here are some photos that were taken along the way.
