Meaningful Moment

Walking along the Canal de Castillo, used for irrigation, to start the morning. For the first time on this Camino, Deb and I have had a continuous body of water. Even though the canal is not so big, it's nice to constantly see water.

Ever since we landed in Spain, we have been in the Spanish Maseta, a hot arid dry land. The trails show little sign of any water. So that adds to the contrast of walking along this canal.

Random Thought of the Day

I think this has been the first morning when it's been a really "nice" walk. We've got a cool breeze, comfortable temperatures, the sun is out but there's lots of shade trees, and of course we have the canal to our left, just a beautiful continuous body of water


Stopped in the small town of Tamariz for cold cuts and cheese, yogurt, Powerade etc, all out of the backpack because everything is closed, technically the one bar in town is closed.

On the Road / Notable memories

Washing machines. The albergue had one. Haven't had clothes really washed since we started.
