Somewhere in Spain on the way to Logrono

Here I am today in Torres del Rio....the days are blurring in to each other.....have walked 18 kms yesterday and 20 today...think of getting a bus into Logrono tomorrow and rest up.  Lastnight was spent on top of a mountain and I didnt think I would make it up there.  The first alberque was very basic with just mattresses on the floor but I didnt care...i just want a place to rest my head....but my new German friend Gizzla said NO...we would look a the next one up another 20 steps further up the village....pant pant!!!  It turned out to be a alberque run by volunteer Dutch Penteclostal Christians so I felt really at home.  I found a song book and started singing some of the songs and was soon joined by Gizzla and another German lady and we each sang the songs in our own language.  After a beautiful dinner that evening about 12 of us joined together for a meditationa and scripture reading and we all sang Amazing Grace in our own languages....about 5 nations represented....a very special moment.  I thanked our host this morning for a beautiful stay and he thanked me for my singing which I thought quite amusing ....so wone has ever thanked me for my singing before.

The journed today was quite easy in comparison to other days and the scenery was spectacular...rolling young fields of wheat set in the midst of vineyards with a mountainous backdrop and blue skies.  Gizzla and  walk at the same pace...slooooow! so it is good company for each other.  I have walked many days on my own and it has been good but it is also good to have a companion who looks out for you.

Time is up....love you all.
