• Feeling near as faded as my jeans

The Meseta is a high plain in north central Spain, flat but not as flat as SE NM or west Texas. Many pilgrims do not like it and some skip it but we like it.

The Spanish rail clerks did not know Sahagún as we said it ”saw haw goon”. We wrote it down and they said, oh ”saw ah (barely said) goon”. I guess people in NM might not know of the place Wynette grew up if you said it ”tay haw tum”.

Now I’m starting to feel bad about making fun of the French for their linguistic strictness.

Restaurants in Spain typically have a fixed price menu like this, always a good bargain, with a few choices for each of two courses, bread, water or wine, and dessert.

We got there at one pm, way too early for lunch in Spain, so we had the place to ourselves.

We had some things we only use on the plane to and from Spain. We mailed them to the hotel where we plan to stay in Santiago on April 4, the end of our camino.
