A visual treasure on the camino this morning....The flower is actually growing in the sand.

My lunch in this internet cafe in Mansilla de las Mulas

Just the facts today. No introspection or retrospection... I woke up this morning in the laundry room of an albergue. Delux accommodation, a private room for only 10 Euros. Gulped two cafe con leches in rapid succession at around 7 am. Then set out following the arrows.

I feel strong today and have stopped in la Mansilla de las Mulas for a little lunch and a wee blog. It´s still early so I am going to keep going, probably another 7 kms.

Here is my route so far. Burgos, Tardajos, Hontanas, Itera de la Vega, Fromista, Villacazar de Sirga, Calzadilla de le Cueza, El Burgo Ranero and tonight I think I will stop in Puenta Villarente for a total roughly of 157 kms walked.

Your granola is incredible mom. I have been spreading it out to make it last to complement delicious yogurt.

So a short walk to Leon tomorrow. 12 Kms or so and I may just hang out there for a bit. I love walking with my home on my back with no plans and no one to consult or wait for. Friends are easy to make and like Judy from Ottawa said last night at dinner the camino reminds her of university life without the angst and a broader range of ages.

Not much else to say really for today. I feel fan-fn-tastic! I look forward to seeing what is over the next bridge. Buen Camino....
