Today was a day of ‘Firsts’ for us!
The first day of (very welcome) cooler weather, a light rain in the morning (which actually felt good) and we got to break in our rain gear. Today we walked 16 miles, and 68 flights of stairs.
The landscape has changed from fewer vineyards to wheat fields. The fields are harvested and have huge stacks of straw bales.
Steve discovered at lunch yesterday, that in this wine country, vino is a lot cheaper than beer. A glass of wine is .60, and beer is 2.80 Euros!
We walked on mostly gravel roads today, but had a couple of short sections along a highway- those sections are among our least favorite sections.
Tomorrow we enter a new province- Burgos.
Enjoying your posts. Just caught up and sorry about the wallet. Sounds like new, interesting friends.
As you are walking Sunday would you please keep Bob, Cory, and Nick in prayer as they are racing their Ironman for 12 to14 hours? Thank-you.
You are in our prayers as well.
Hi Polly,
We will start our specific prayers for the guys tomorrow, as that will be our next grueling day. Sunday we will be in Burgos- hopefully praying in the Cathedral!
Love to you guys!
Thank you. Your prayers were felt! All the guys finished the Ironman and are still healthy. Just caught up with your blog and pictures. So interesting. Hang in there…you are doing great!!! (beautiful cathedral)
Love to you both.
