Buenos tardes mi amigos.
A deliberate light day today. 1 1/2 hour walk from Viana to Logroño. (Pronounced Logronyo).
A university city of about 130,000. A gorgeous Sunday morning was had in the plaza. Quiet cafe con leche y uno boccadillo. Sharing a hotel with Steve. Splitting tacks for the afternoon, and I hope to watch GP.
Had a snack at a lovely roadside house this morning. A coffee and snack for a donation. Coffee is the morning fuel. Lovely lady, very friendly. What a life.
Treated my feet again and I am feeling much stronger. Right on schedule at the moment.
Thanks for all the comments it is much appreciated this end. Sorry no spiritual encounters to report today. I think the bigger cities tune you out of that mode.
Hotel: great to have a hot bath, and a decent towel afterwards. The simple things mean a lot. The Albergue last night at Viana was good, and in a wonderful location with an outdoor garden balcony overlooking the plains (but I see more hills in the distance). Coping pretty well with the climbing, but coming down the hills, pains the knees. Stop whinging Ashley, you wimp.
This is truly a splendid journey, and I realise my good fortune.

Hope you enjoy your rest and the GP. Rest up and get energised for the oncoming journey you have deserved it. We love you Cristina, Callum and Riley.
The downhills hurt your knees...take it easy when your body signals you. Good to see that you keep your spirits high. Hope the weather stays nice for your journey. God bless~
Hi, Ashley. Good to catch up with your journey - it sounds magic (despite the challenges). Sounds like you are really finding out what you need to materially survive - weigh the pack at the end to see the difference. Good luck!
Sorry to hear about your sore feet. I'm sure it's worth it for your spiritual journey.
I trust you saw the GP. Miffy reckons she plays the Grand Prix at school. She says it's really boring and stupid.......hmmm.
Look forward to more. Take care.
