Another Day

This mornings first 17km broke all the records for miserable walking. I repeated the  mistake I made last April on what is now the second most miserable day of walking: I underdressed for crappy weather.  

Since i had a good 20e room in Carrion de la Calzada last night, and could hear the rain pelting down I had half a mind to sit today out and soak in all the culture Carrion has to offer (there's a souvenir store).   The rain stopped at around 9 so hatless and in a short sleeve shirt I headed out at 9:15. By 9:20 it was drizzling  and by 9:30 the rain was steady and 10 minutes later it was a torrential sideways downpour. 

I ended up in a town called Moratinos, 30km from Carrion. 

Just to show you that not all of the Camino is picturesque, here's the place I stopped to dry out and have a piece of tortilla yesterday.
