It has truly been a wonderful journey. We've seen amazing scenery, walked through ancient Spanish towns, met great people from around the world and have had one great experience after another. It's hard to explain and describe, but it is truly a life changing experience. Also, one hellava way to kick off retirement. With any luck, this will be the first of many similar experiences.
We continued our walk through the Meseta. For the first 16K stretch, we just walked though farm fields. No villages for cafe con leche, tortillas or pastries. It was a long way but with nice scenery.
The weather was brilliant again today. It is very cool in the morning - in the 40s. It is very pleasant walking conditions. By 11:00 or noon, it starts to heat up a bit, but by then the day's walk is over. The afternoon is spent in the garden of the albergue reading and catching up with others.
We've been on the Camino for 18 days now but it seems like just an instant.
Today's good intentions are for my mother and father, Donald and Delores, who are celebrating their 65th anniversary today. You have been great role models to me, my brothers and sisters, their families and friends. Thank you and happy anniversary.
