Zero Fun Pilgrims So Far

Or maybe it's me who's no fun?  Nah, I'm fun.

Even though I did this route a few years back, it feels 95% unfamiliar. Small differences in scheduling, weather, and even the fact that I started this route three weeks earlier in the season make a big difference.

Today was another long hot one. 85f and 30km but not very hilly. The only things that I remembered  about this part were passing by the fancy hotel Jill treated me to, 10 minutes into the walk, a spot where there's one of those enormous bull 'billboards', and finally arriving in the town I'm in now. I didn't stay here last time but I had an incredibly satisfying huevos rotas for lunch.

I enjoyed my full day off in Logrono yesterday. Put in about 10km of tapas walking but I think it's good to have a calorie surplus day every now and then.

I think it's going to be cool and cloudy tomorrow. Woohoo for that. If it is that comfortable, and my left side (from hip to ankle) feels okay I'll probably walk through Santo Domingo de Calzado. I remember that place pretty well (I think) because I stayed at a hostel run by nuns, and the nun who checked me in was the cutest nun ever. She strongly encouraged me to go to the cathedral for mass that night because there would be a special 'changing of the chickens' since there was a funeral scheduled.
