How are your feet?
They are drier than yesterday. I will check them often, but I need to get there before it is 91 degrees outside. There is no time for coffee every 8 kilometers today.
Overall, my body feels much better after having taken a day off. Coming out of Leon is like a large puzzle.... "where is the camino arrow?"
How was exploring today?It is a very small town. I am staying in an Albergue that has only 22 beds and only 4 in my room. I know all the people in the room so that is nice as well. There are only 95 people in this town but they have 4 Hostels. Mine has a small cafe attached to it and the lady the runs it so very, very nice.
This afternoon after settling in, I made my way to the town square. People are friendly and by evening I had taught someone how to play dominoes, I was served a red wine mixed with lemonade ( it was very good) and I talked to a 91 year old Spanish man for about a half hour. I could understand him and he seemed to be able to understand most of my Spanish as well.
The terrain is changing. We are moving out of the flat lands and into an area that is at least a little more scenic.
It is 10:36 p.m. and you can see that it is still 90 degrees. The air in our small room is going to be stifling tonight.
I find it interesting that it is 10:36 and it is 90.... but if you look at 11:00 it is suppose to drop to 77 and be 68 degrees by 3:00 a.m. Well, that is the desert for you.
The picture below was not sent by Leischen, nor did she see this event. Google shared this picture of an annual sheep day in Villar de Mazarife. They herd the sheep off to market and apparently go right through the streets of town. I just thought of Dad and knew that he would have enjoyed seeing this and telling the story afterwards.

Carol I wish Leischen could have seen a sheep scene like the one you have pictured. I love each new email.
