This morning was beautiful! We went back to the same cafe we went to the night before for breakfast and so I took some photos of it!

Ummm so the beggining of today’s journey began with a wine fountain!

We are just beggining to passed through wine country and there is a famous winery (which I didn’t know of course until we were there) that has a free fountain, one spicket of wine, one of water. Whaaaaat! So cool. Naturally, we had to stop and check it out ourselves. We had no cups, because everything we have is holding water. BUT luckily I heard the family from Colorado talking and apparently people often use their scallop shells to drink from it. So, we did! Well, I did. Debbie just went for it because she is way cooler than I am.

Some people were filling up bottles or parts of bottles but dang! It’s free, be nice. Also, we hiking! Wine and hiking sounds like a mess to me, haha.

But today was an absolutely beautiful day! There was a long trek ahead of us and we were planning on pushing an extra 6.8km to make the next day easier. The sun was freaking OUT today. I got some pretty sweet tan lines and my freckles are definitely back. We were sweating. But luckily this stretch was flat. But so much flat, I felt like I could feel all the things that hurt even more! My shoulders were giving me a hard time today. It did not feel good. We made it to Los Arcos which is where our map had us stop, rested and pushed forward. It was a long day, which is what made the day hard. Long in mileage. But these amazing sights never get old to me, day after day.

We pushed forward all the way to Sansol and literally stopped at the first albergue we could find. It was a nice quiet little place and there were only three other people in our room for twenty! We all had our own corners, it was so nice. We showered before and Debbie went to go examine her feet, they’ve got all kinds of things happening. But two of her toes were black on the ends! Bruised! They were so bruised, it looked so painful I felt so bad. She also developed a new blister- on the bottom of her foot. Absolutely not fun.

We ate at the restaurant that was part of the albergue, having a yummy meal! All of their standard mixed salads I have learned come with tuna on them. Reallllllly need to start asking for that to not be included. Dinner was delicious and I caved and had some ice cream! It was yummy.
