Outskirts of Leon

 Posted by VQT

We made it to our hotel in Arcahueja 7 hours after leaving Reliegos.  It was only 10.5 miles.  I had to stop frequently and that meant we were walking in almost 90 degrees under a blazing sun - there was no shade.  LP adjusted to my slow pace today - and I thank her for sticking with me    

Our hotel tonight is rather grand by Camino standards.  We made it to the hotel restaurant prior to the 3:30 order deadline.  Whew.  Restaurant closed at 4 and doesn’t reopen till 8.  Had a fabulous salad - maybe the best salad of this Camino.  


Giant billboard mural on the outside of Reliegos.  Lady shepherd knitting surrounded by her dog and sheep with the meteor shooting across the sky behind her.  The stump she’s sitting on has a yellow Camino arrow.  

Small church with a huge stork’s nest.    Church was not open.  So many churches are closed.

    Glad you made it! Sounds like a tough day in the heat and sun + not feeling 100%. Hopefully rest and hydration will help you feel better for tomorrow's journey. JK

    Slow and steady wins the race. Happy you made it in time for a delicious salad. Get some rest and build your strength.

    Ditto - slow and steady. Congrats on your progress. Can't imagine how tired you must feel.

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

 Posted by VQT Headed to Estella.  When we were here 3 years ago we had booked a room at a self check in hotel - using the kiosk challenged us beyond normal cuss words. But there was a reward - a vegetarian restaurant down the street.  This year when we were booking rooms we reserved a room in Estella and we realized it was at the (curse word) self check in hotel!  We are mentally prepared for the kiosk and hopeful the vegetarian restaurant is still there.   Stopped for lunch and a beer   We have 4 to 5 miles still to walk.  Sights along the way    Very fancy water fountain.  Almost all the small towns have a fountain for Camino pilgrims to use.   Baby snails.    More baby snails.    Fields of dead sunflowers.  Right before seeing these dead flowers we walked past a very dense hedge filled with birds.  Merlin identified the song as Eurasian linnets.  We never saw them.   Owl planter in the mid...
