14 miles (22 Km) Not a very interesting day on the trail, most of the walk today was right next to the road. It was grey and cloudy when we left and forecast was for rain. It sprinkled just a tiny bit, not even worth wearing a rain jacket, but it was pretty cool, and it seemed to get colder as the day went on, so the rain jacket did come in handy.
Sahagun is a bit larger town, but not much going on. And again we don’t have many pictures.
Our day usually starts with a breakfast, then we start walking. Most days around 8 am +/- 30 mins. After 2 and a half to 3 hours we stop for our second coffee, then start walking again. We usually arrive to our destination before lunch time, except on the longer walking days. First thing we do when we check into our hotel is take our shoes off and put on our sandals. Not pretty, but very comfortable. When you walk around town, you can always see who the pilgrims are, everyone wears sandals or flip-flops, and some walk like they’re hurting. Dinner is usually a pilgrim menu, you get a few choices, but mostly the same local foods. Every now and then we have to venture and eat different food. Then it’s off to bed, and start all over again the next day. Just like Groundhog Day!!
