Terradillos de los Templarios to El Burgo Ranero, then to Mancillas de las Mulas

Hello, everyone.  We've been caught in a local(ish) internet outage the last couple of days. The places thought they had wifi internet but while the wifi was working the internet wasn't. At the second place, the lady told us that one of the internet providers had suffered a fire and lots of things were messed up. Even her house had lost its service, and many places that might ordinarily accept card payment were on cash only.

We left Terradillos and walked to El Burgo Ranero, a smallish village. The lodging situation has been more difficult than it was 10 years ago, so we surrendered and called ahead on this one. The lady told us when we got there, after 29 km, that she'd been sold out until shortly between called, and someone had canceled. So we got a place to stay from their cancelation. 

We ate the Menu del Dia there and I was blessed to have a really delicious pistou: squash, onions, peppers, maybe some eggplant, in a tomato-ey sauce. She put a whole plate of that in front of me and I didn't even take a photo. My second course was a very nice filet de ternera, a beef cutlet that was a large serving with plenty of flavor. 

 The next day we walked to Mancillas de las Mulas, where we stayed at an albergue that was supposed to have wifi but this was when we heard about the fire. We had the planned meal there, too, but it wasn't quite as good. 

We did find another bar in town at Mancillas, where there was internet, but we didn't think it cool to spend the entire day there sipping on coffees and using their internet.
