Day five: El Real to Monasterio

Miles: 9

My asthma was acting up a bit today because I caught a cold already. Booo! I’m glad it was a short day

Otherwise it was breezy and a bit chilly. I had a nice time walking with a roommate after a coffee break.

There’s only five pilgrims at tonight’s hostel, a place that could hold 50.

Update: someone just showed up. We’re up to 6.

We enter the region of Extremadura today.
The wettest stream crossing so far. My shoes were dry in a few hours.
Black pigs, delicious black pigs. They are searching for acorns.
I was teaching gin rummy to them. They immediately started winning.
