FRIO!

As I mentioned early, today I left the beautiful city of Astorga and 5 hours and 21 kilometers later I arrived in Rabanal del Camino. This town is a cute little place situated on a hill with stone streets. The walk to get here was nice although it is freezing outside! I could see my breath this morning for at least the first hour. Nothing too notable about the trail except its upward climb for the last two miles. Well thats not true, the really neat thing about the trail was that it was lined with a wire fence covered in any type of cross that you can imagine. Crosses made out of clothing, leaves, rocks, and mostly sticks. It was very cool and alludes to the religious importance of this camino for many of the pilgrims doing it. The camino today also had a few interesting stops along the way including a cowboy bar/restaurant about two thirds of the way...interesting. Well, I will type more soon and try to be consistent..it is freezing right now and I have to drain my blister again! haha, yuck I know. Laaater for now, Nays
