If you've come this far, perhaps you'll go a bit further

On paper, my plan was to go to Logrono today, but I did a bit of rearranging and had decided to stop early at Viana, which was a 18k walk. That was the plan at the beginning of the day, anyway.

On the walk, I came across a part of the woods that I thought had a lot of litter. Turns out people leave notes I under rocks. I have a bunch of prayer cards I haven't given anyone, so I decided to read one and leave it there.

The prayer I added to the collection

Walking into town, I started second guessing, as it was quite unimpressive. Then about six of us ended up taking a beer break at which point they decided to press on. I gave in, not wanting to be alone in a bigger city and walked an additional 10k. My feet are not happy with this choice.

Smiling through a twisted knee and persistent blister.

I am now at a municipal albergue, probably my least favorite yet, in an even bigger city. We rolled ... wobbled... in around five.

I spent more time on the way with other pilgrims than any other day. Two others and I had a nice picnic at the top of a climb. So, I await dinner and will sleep well tonight!
