Our next major city on the pilgrimage was Logrono about 20km from Torres Del Rio. Sakkar’s blister were pretty bad, so she was taking bus to Logrono. She took her bus at 9 and was in Logrono by 9 :30.
We left at around 7:20 as the sun was coming up.
It is interesting to see the empty villages invaded by the pilgrims while the town sleeps.
We were waking through the vineyard and olive grows through most of the morning.
Our first town was 14 km walk away. We had our breakfast there at 10:30. We also walked through the town plaza and the church. We also helped ourselves to some pastries.
From Viana we took off for Logrono as the temperature was getting hot. Fortunately we had many shaded path along the highway.
We are all settled in Logrono for the afternoon as I write this. Showers and laundry are done and some of my Camino group are taking a nap waiting for sun to go down, before we head out to see the big town and figure out a nice dinner.
You guys are getting on the road so early! I hope you have some short days after this one!
Also, I think you’ve walked about 100 miles at this point. Amazing work by you all!
Wow. Did not realize that. Thanks for reminding. I deserve another pastry.
I can feel the ecstasy and agony of the “walk”…
as the sun sets here in caifornia, mom sunil and I gather around the iPad to catch up on ur progress. This has become an after dinner ritual. But sunil is leaving on Tuesday so it will just be mom and I watching your progress in awe.
The juxtaposition of the officers on horseback checking their phones while the pilgrims are on a spiritual journey is amusing! Thanks so much for sharing your journey.
