Well today it rained off and on all day sometimes a torrential downpour but mostly a drizzle. The path however was very pleasant and sometimes downright beautiful as it went through a forest canopy. We passed through a few small towns, nothing extraordinary and generally not too smelly, an improvement. We walked for over 7 hours and covered a distance of 24 kms. By the time we arrive at our destination, we were quite wet but still in good spirits. As has become our custom these days, we checked into an inexpensive pension which is a bit more expensive than an Albergue but much better value for our money. We should be in Santiago by the beginning of next week. There is not much more to say for today. It was an uneventful day except for the incessant rain. We have already arranged to have dinner at our Pension. On the menu is chuletta de lomo, just more drab Peregrino food but the desert here is really good. They make a really great cake called Tarta de Santiago, a beautiful almond cake served all over the place, a nice change from Flan. We are now off to dry all of our clothes because more rain is in the forecast tomorrow and the following days. Our shoes will be in the garbage as soon as we get home.
