Yesterday long and hard, today some happenings

Hello, everyone.  As y'all can see from the title, yesterday was a demanding walk. There were lots of ups and down, some steep. Also, the route into Logrono was transformed into a "green route" which whike it went past every new tree planting in the area, was a little bit longer. Gronze.com has the walk from Viana into Logrono at about 8 km. It was morexlike 11km. I was too tired to make a post.

Today, we left Logrono about 7 am. The walk through the damaged and park area at the edge of the city, which we did in pre-dawn dark 11 years ago, was very pleasant in the early morning. 

About noon ish we saw a helicopter flying around, which has not been usual. It turned out, when we got into Najera, that the power was out. It wasn't out for half of Europe as the rumor was running. It was just out for all of Iberia, the peninsula that includes Spain and Portugal. After the power came back, around 5 pm in Najera, we tracked down a bar with internet and looked it up. It turns out that, if you should happen to be in a power outage in Spain, Najera is a great place to sit through it. Big cities like Madrid and Lisbon had some panic buying and their (electric) metro systems got stuck. (That must have been fun for the passengers.)
