As y'all may remember, we had a short day yesterday. We only covered about half of a usual distance. We did laundry at the laundromat (lavanderia) and went to bed early.
Today, it worked out that we made up for the short day--walking about 29 km. This part of the Camino del Norte is a bit like Highway 281 south of Falfurrias in one way. It's off in the middle of farms and not a whole lot of travelers' services. We were fortunate enough to be walking along the road when a friendly man in a car stopped. (No, he wasn't offering candy! Wash your mind out!) He gave us a flyer for a new albergue in Lourenza. Where we were pretty sure we would be sleeping anyway. The Albergue Castelos is new, and well thought out. We are in side by side bottom bunks, which have decent headroom for us.
The weather continues cold (the news said it has been 10C colder than usual. Brrr!) And today we got no sunshine. But we're comfortable and hoping for a shorter day tomorrow.
Ultreia.
