These towns are desolate. There are one or two more interesting things to see these days but unfortunately most buildings are crumbling before us. We’ve spent the last two nights in Albergues in the middle of northern Spain in the cold. The owners couldn’t be more caring but the heat only goes on for an hour at night and the hot water is available at 6 pm, for two hours, and you’d better use it, because in the morning…No Hot Water! I was never really a camper! Again, I have to question our sanity for undertaking this trip with no serious preparation.
It’s freezing. We have on our sweaters, vests and even toques, under all the blankets we could gather. I think we’ll move our beds together and cuddle to keep warm tonight!
Here are some pictures from today … the first one is so unusual, and very fascinating . Man made caves“ bodegas” dating back to the Roman epoch. Each family would make their wine here and store it for the upcoming year. Today, they are used for storage and parties.
Going to sleep, tomorrow we trek on …. Buenos Noches Chicos
Élise and Janie walk the Camino 
There were bound to be tough stretches, right? I don’t know if I could do what you’re doing, Elise. You’re amazing (and I’ve been camping with you before so I’m extra impressed 😆😘)

My admiration for you and your Mom continues to grow. I never liked camping either and I know I wouldn’t be able to do what you are doing. The pictures tell the story and give us a really good idea of how difficult it must be. Maybe “ On the Road Again” could be your theme song. 🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️❤️💕
