What a day. It was really struggle bus until lunch. My asthma finally loosened up, and the application of coffee and sandwiches made the afternoon quite pleasant.

Even with several, um, strategically unplanned detours, I arrived at my evenings lodgings in good spirits.

I feel good and am excited to go on tomorrow.

I made 4 hours of walking before I crapped out.

Still feel awful.

We’re finally leaving the plains. The wind laid off someplace else and the walking is much more interesting. Someone used the S word (That’s snow). I hushed them.

Really charming, this little town. At 7, there’s some Gregorian chanting on offer for Easter Monday. Edit: it was Vespers and it was very peaceful.

The pope died. The news here has been nuts with it. Hope the next one is a good person.

My allergies and asthma have wiped me out. If I still feel this bad tomorrow, I’ll check into a hotel and take a day off

Otherwise I had a pretty good day. Managed to catch a mass at the cathedral and watch the Sunday procession before eating a giant meal and napping.

The albergue I’m staying at is old and so neat. There’s beer in the vending machine and hot showers. Can’t ask for more.

It was a shortish day. Got to the hostel and got a bottom bunk bed. Lol, it’s the little things in life that make it good. Nice place, and I needed a whole afternoon to rest.
