Have just finished the usual post walk chores.... shower, check feet and do laundry. My laundry is on the line to dry and now it´s started to cloud over!
Climbing up to the mountians of western Leon, one of more noticable changes is the construction material used in the small villages. Mostly the building and fences are made of field stone. Makes for a much more interesting walk than the broken adobe walls of many of the villages of the Meseta.
At 250 km from Santiago, it now occurs me that I am about 10 km away from having completed two-thirds of my journey! Hard to fathom, but then thinking back much is a blur. I have trouble remembering one albergue from another, or one town from another.... but for the exceptions, of course.
Uh oh.... the skies have just openned up and it is pouring. Better go and rescue my laundry.

Hi Bob!
I'm enjoying reading about your days and how things are going. Sounds amazing. It's hard to really fathom what you are going through during your walk, with the heat, and the hills, and the cramped sleeping arrangements. I really don't think I could ever have the courage. I'm so proud of you! We really miss you here! Nick still loves school (I was waiting for the novelty to wear off after the first week but so far so good!) and Ethan is joining the chess club at school - you better get back here soon because I ASSUME you know how to play, and he'll need to practice! More hockey this weekend and next. Ethan is skating better each time!
Keep writing!!!
Love Bri xoxo
