We were one of the first pilgrims to leave the albergue this morning after being woken up by the local rooster. We left Pieros in the dark (the sun isn’t up until about 8:15 am). They don’t have daylight savings time in Spain and we got lost in the dark. Fortunately a very nice man who was taking his grandson to school got us back on track. This is what happens when you dress in the dark. It made me think of Liz :-).
The walk today was uneventful with most of our time spent between a highway and a river. There was an alternate path that required 3 big up and down climbs and we wanted to save ourselves for tomorrow which will be a 10K climb very similar to what we encountered in the Pyrenees on Day 1.
We are staying in a relaxing albergue at the foot of the mountain. Right now there are only 4 of us and we know Emily (Maine) and Jenna (Minnesota).
Camino Fun Facts: The following are considered luxuries on the Camino
- Restroom with toilet seat and toilet paper
- Shower with a place to put your soap and shampoo
- An Albergue with no French guys
- An outlet by your bed
- A room with no bunk beds
- Lunch without flies

Hang in there, not too much longer. How about a rest day?
I just came back from my 20 MINUTE walk and was thinking of how amazing you both are. Thanks for all the great pictures.
I Love you…

P.S. Joe sold the cranford house also. I did not think he had power of attorney
Hi Jim,

Did Joe get a good price?
