The Peaceable kingdom

Day 18 Ledigos to Bercianos - 26 km

Today was a fabulous day. The sun wasn´t too hot and we are at our destination, Bercianos, where Joy was a hospitalera, and I am going back to a meal cooked by the pilgrims.
We were so glad to leave Ledigos - very bad vibes there, and I was so grumpy.
We stopped for a visit today at the Peaceable Kingdom in Moritanos. Rebekah is an expat American who  runs an unofficial stopping place for pilgrims there.

Here is a link to a story about her and her place on the Camino.

She offered us a cup of tea: Yorkshire tea, brought by one of her visitors. It was so wonderful to be in a home, rather than in a public space.
I have been following her blog for years, and admire the work she does, and the stories she tells. 
This is her blog, about village life, pilgrims, and the wider world of the Camino.

I am feeling great, and enjoying myself. I am looking forward to the mountains, and Rabanal.
Now if only I could get rid of this pesky rash on my ears!


Here is our albergue. We are sleeping on mats on the floor.
 The sunset should be spectacular, if I can stay awake.
