Meaningful Moment

Ever since Thursday people in the province of Valladolid have been preparing for a big weekend of festivities celebrating the saints.

From what I understand this weekend is for St John the Baptist. 

Anyway, whether we're in the bigger towns or the small towns, there's an excitement in the air as people get ready for the celebration.

Random Thought of the Day

Incessant wind. Today, and other days, there has been constant wind, increasing to gusts, only to settle back to a constant wind. Must be a feature of being on the plains. 

When we were just a little bit outside of Fontiyuelo, I looked to my right and saw the mountains off in the distance. 
If anything is a signature change from the last 16 days, it's finally seeing the mountains of Northern Spain. 

Finished hiking on our penultimate day.  One more day tomorrow to reach Sahagún and tomorrow night we are at the end of our Camino Madrid.

On the Road / Notable memories

Only two days of hiking left, today and tomorrow.
Like with all Camino's, I can barely remember the beginning as we wrap up the ending.
