1 and 2 May – a Long Walk Day and a Short Walk Day

May 1st we walked from Ayegui to Sansol, almost 27 kms with a fair bit of ups and downs. Our feet were so sore at the end of the walk! 

Here are some photos from the walk:


At the end of the day we got to eat paella. It was good:


May 2nd we took our time in the morning, slept in (or what passes for sleeping in on the Camino, get up at 7, start walking at 8). 

The view back to Sansol as we were leaving:


As a side note, the roof tiles in Spain are fabulous!


It was overcast when we left, but pretty soon we could hear thunder rumblings, then the rain came and we put on the ponchos:


It rained with lightning and thunder for the rest of the morning, while we hiked up and down through vineyards and other fields.


Here is my brother, in the rain, poncho on, trying to figure out how wine is made:


We got to Viana, our destination, at about noon. We heard from peregrinos coming after us that there had been a tremendous downpour with hail and wind and lightning, but we missed it. All peregrinos coming in, including us, were quite wet. The dorm rooms have wet clothing and gear hanging everywhere! 


That’s it for now. As they say here in greeting: “Buen Camino!”
