Coffee and a little ham and cheese and bread breakfast was served at the albergue between 6 and 7 so we got a very early start!

What a beautiful walk out of Uterga. Charlie took this video: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Ncp25ZE4gdrigUW9A

There are big fields of mustard plants. I assume these are farmed and not just weeds. Solid yellow color. At first I thought they were rape plants (canola) but close up we were able to identify them as mustard.

We are definitely in farm country. Starting to see huge fields of wheat (I think) and also starting to see vineyards and even some olive trees.

Just leaving Uterga. Fields of mustard. Plus wheat.
I had the bottom bunk in the corner. Charlie the bottom bunk next to me. They were good solid beds. Didn’t shake when someone turned over or climbed up and down the ladder.
In Puente la Reina on the street as we walked through. I thought it was a pretty still life.
Group dinner in the albergue. That’s Hyen (Korea/New York) on the left and Cathleen (Germany) in the middle. The man on the right was from Denmark. There were 8 of us at the table. 5 of us were from the USA, counting Hyen.
