Day 9: to Laredo

Hello, everyone.

Returning to the series of Camino 2018 posts, we revisit the ninth day of walking, from Castro Urdiales to Laredo.

This day was a lot of seaside walking along the bluffs. The weather continued cool. There was a fair amount of scenery. We did remember to take a few pictures.

The hills and bluffs seem to gather convection to themselves. There is a possible rain event building up on the mountain in the distance. We were walking in sunshine when the picture was taken.

By the time we arrived the the outskirts of the city the sunshine had been replaced by clouds.

 Laredo has a long beach.

There is a ferry ride here, not quite as short as the ferry in Pasajes but not long either.

We stayed with the Trinitarian sisters in their convent albergue. The alburgue had beds and warm blankets. They had evening Mass in the church. At the end of Mass the sisters gave all of the pilgrims paper stars to keep. They were very sweet.
