Lots of challenges today. I knew the 17 km with only 3 picnic benches and no water the whole way would be tough, but I did it last time. However, today was hot and dusty, so though we were off by 6:30, we didn´t arrive until 3:30 for me, and 4 for Wendy. I went ahead, as there is only one albergue in this village, and I was concerned that we might be too late. Fortunately, there still were beds, and for the first time, I felt the need of a nap when I arrived.
I saw so many wonderful flowers today, but no way to download the pictures, and I can´t seem to get any off the web. I saw lilacs, almost done, poppies, every day, in the roadsides, spiria bushes, 2 kinds of wild roses with wonderful aroma, wild lavender, dandelions, daisies, a kind of wild geranius looking plant, thistle, bullrushes...
I heard frogs, and the cuckoo called several times in the morning.
I saw the sun rise this morning, over my shoulder.
And I am here, showered, my laundry done, so all is well.
