Day 16: Canaveral to Galisteo

Miles 17

Well, there’s no water to wash my filthy self, but there’s electricity here and cold beer in this awfully cool town.

Im treating myself to a nice meal instead of a shower.

Today’s walking was pretty great tbh. Overcast and mildly breezy.

This particular oak has had the cork stripped off

Beef, in peppers with a delicious sauce of some kind

Day 15: Casar de Caceres to Canaveral

Miles 20

Long old day today, but I’m grateful it wasn’t sunny. I’d rather need to warm up than to overheat.

I always think I’m from the country, but i saw something today that I’d never seen: sheep shit so abundant that it was in drifts. Like snow. Drifts of shit.

Anyhoo, here’s today pics

Lots of obviously worked stone in piles all over the path today

Day 14: Valdesalor to Casar de Caceres

Miles 7

My foot was bugging me, so I did the first half of the day on a bus. I’ve got 3 long days ahead, and I wanted to be able to do them.

Best decision ever.

Got to my destination early, and got a private room in a hotel. I’ll get a good start with freshly conditioned hair.

Fairly typical breakfast. Toasted bread with tomato puree, a little olive oil, and coffee. I had two coffees, total about 5 dollars.

Damn, Valdesalor, why you gotta come at me so hard?

Nice little city. The big cities are a drag to walk out of because they’re soooo industrial

I stood here for a while, but nobody came up to kiss me

My dessert. The menu del Dia here on the path consists of a drink, bread, a salad, an entree, and dessert. I dont get it a lot, because afterwards I never want to eat again

Day 13: Alcuescar to Valdesalor

Miles: 18 ish

I felt really good this morning. Had a bunch of food yesterday, a good night’s sleep, and a pleasant breakfast time with another pilgrim.

The actual walking itself was kinda tiring, but that’s what I signed up for.
