A Spiritual Journey

I try to resist the temptation to post about the distances I've walked and other superficial statistics. I'd prefer to reflect on the deeper, more significant questions the Camino experience raises like "am I losing weight?" and "how is my tan coming along?"

It was a long day. The guidebook says it was 32km but it felt a lot longer. It took me nine hours to get from Ventosa to Santo Domingo de la Calzada. I was going to stop in a town called Ciruena but it was too creepy. It reminded me of Chernyoble or the video game Half Life.  It had a brand new golf community with hundreds if not thousands of condos, none of which seem to have been occupied. It was only 6km to Santo Domingo and its a nice lively place.
