We meet a fun Dutch Couple as we are hitting the trail at the beginning of the day!
A Long Open Road..... 24 km today!
Beautiful rich countryside
Open road continues!
Artistic pilgrim welcome in Villar de Mazarife
Mariah in front of the the beautiful church in Villar de Mazariffe. Still no storks spotted in the large stork nests on the church steeples.
Note: For those who have been waiting to see the storks show up in the nests via my photographs...I have just been informed tonight that the storks migrate to Africa for winter holiday! Only the aged and infirmed stay home, but I have yet to spot any old or sick storks ...sorry!
Mary sharing some time with the original Santiago Pilgrim ...St. James. We are in the courtyard in front of the church in Villar de Mazarife. We enjoyed our lunch break in this town.
Today it's CORNFIELDS!
Already harvested... "Just stalks" stretching far out into the horizon. Started craving a cob of corn....corn fields everywhere but not a single cob to eat!
New variety of "fluffy eared" cows of a new stylish muted color! .... searching for points of interest today .... loved the fluffy ears that the cows used proficiently to swat flies! Cute and efficient ears!
At last... after 71/2 hours we arrive at Villavante for the evening!
Who do we meet up with but the Dutch Couple ... Theresa and John from the beginning of the day! We enjoyed a dinner with them at our Albergue St. Lucia en el Camino.
Mary follows the Camino signs and yellow arrows to make her way on the Camino .... The Dutch spend an hour pouring over the maps "refining" the plan!
Another great day on Camino!
Hope you all are enjoying your days journey!
Love from Mary and Mariah
Mary, You are doing SO well ... and I hope still really enjoying it. The decision to bus part of the Camino was the one I had to make too. But I figure there will be other years!! Buen Camino and hugs, Susan (Heidi's friend in Bremerton)

ReplyDeleteThe two of you are awesome!
ReplyDeleteThank you all! We appreciate the support. We should have scheduled 50 days including travel days ..... Most people we have met have 45-60 days as their schedule for the Camino. We are enjoying our days ... Some more challenging than others
