Day: March 21, 2022

Wynette and Margarita, our Airbnb host, more on her later, but mainly I loved the red hair on the woman next to them.

Here is a new variant, insult Castilla and add “solo” after Leon. We learned from Margarita that this is a separatist, nationalist movement.

I get it but I wonder how the tires could have followed those tracks

Do they have weather too? I didn’t get my camera up fast enough to show the temperature map where Portugal is completely blank. It appears Portugal does have a few wispy clouds above it.

We had a good time in A Coruña, and good weather. By Friday we had decided we’d head back to the Camino when our time there was up. So this morning, we took a bus back to Villafranca del Bierzo, where we left off before, had a cup of coffee, and then started walking the 6 miles to Trabadelo where we are staying tonight. We got here just in time for a late lunch. The cook here is excellent. We had one of her lunches in 2013 on our first Camino and never forgot it. Today we had the menu del día and chose the trout. “Trucha” in español. It was delicious. For those who live in New Mexico, you might know the town in Northern New Mexico named “Truchas”, or “Trouts”. I’m sure many good trouts have been eaten around there, too. We walked along a large clear stream most of today. It’s flowing just outside our room. If it were summer I bet we would have gone out and done some wading.

It’s cooler here than it was in A Coruña but not as cold as it was when we left a week ago. Actually perfect walking weather. Mostly cloudy with sun peeking out every once in a while. We are glad to be back on the Camino.
