Little Free Library

 Posted by LP

Here I am in a Little Free Library in a small brick building covered in greenery - just enough room for me and my backpack - this was along the Camino, not even near a town or other buildings - I love books, Little Free Libraries and greenery so I was very happy to enjoy this moment earlier today - if you don’t know about Little Free Libraries, try LittleFreeLibrary.org

    That is so cool! Love that it’s a “walk-in” library.

Are we there yet?

 Posted by LP Today was 14 miles, not too hilly (but enough hilly to make us believe we achieved something), cool in the morning, hotter and sunnier as the day progressed - it took us about 5 hours (with a few brief breaks) and when we arrived at our destination, we stopped at the first bar/cafe along with a bunch of other pilgrims - now we have completed approximately 60 miles in 5 days….only another 400 to go! Photo - teapot and teacup sign outside cafe Photo - LP and VQT, with Tina from Germany, at dinner last night - we had the “pilgrim’s menu” = 15 euros each for salad, pasta, fresh fruit (melon) and red wine - we were so hungry we ate it all  Photo - Camino Arrow sign…..crocheted  Photo - graffiti of heart and smiley face  Photo - green door covered in graffiti  Photo - green door with “for sale” sign Photo - delightful house and garden with vines and geraniums  Photo - graffiti of a menacing face  Photo - VQT at green grocers (we bought bananas)...

Day 2. Sept 2nd
