I am sitting in the bar of a small hotel by the highway in this very small town, basically a truckstop, but this is where we are spending the night. We had another short day of only 18 km. But the day had a wonderful beginning with breakfast in the kitchen of the Casa Rural where we spent the night. It was such a nice way to start the day with some other pilgrims. However the days are getting quite warm (31) with limited shade, so tomorrow we will try and be on the road before 7 when the temperatures are very pleasant for walking.
When we get to Burgos on Wednesday we will be lightening our packs, sending the excess on to Santiago or Auberge Hunziker. One of the universal truths of the Camino seems to be that despite being told to pack very light, everyone brings too much stuff...us included. We have been travelling off and on with two sisters from the US and earlier ran into Irish Damien who had travelled by bus while his wife went on by foot.
Things are going well, but we are looking forward to having a day of rest in Burgos. We have walked 250 km. The dining room here has closed for the season, so it will be a sandwich for dinner - very good ham here.
