Day 16

Completely forgot to mention yesterday that I was exactly halfway! It's going quickly. I've not had any major epiphanies, maybe you only get them when you make it to Santiago. We do seem to be starting to Transfigure though, my boots are definitely whiter than when I first started!


Today's walk included discussing our dream dinner guests. Interestingly Ludger chose Hitler and this lead on to an discussion of the World wars from a German perspective. I opted for Flo (Florence Nightingale). Then we stumbled upon a convoy of caterpillars,  I didn't realise this was how they hung out, fascinating...


Towards the end of the walk I busted out DJ Shadow to get us through the last 5km.

Ludger made another one of his magical soups, enough to feed the whole town. This time there was only four of us in the Albergue so I had three giant bowls. It was even better than the last and included fresh bay leaves that he'd picked on today's walk.

The Albergue was donitivo (you donate what you like) and doesn't appear to have a proper roof so I will be going to bed with all my clothes on again.
