We had a leisurely Sunday morning hanging out in the apartment. Coffee with our usual morning games: NY Times Crossword (not too hard with autocheck), Connections, Bracket City, and Quintalist. Then breakfast: granola with the most amazing plain yoghurt we’ve ever eaten (at about 1\/4 the cost of what we buy at Costco).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then we did some food shopping and then we cooked a yummy lunch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later we walked for three hours on the Camino, Via de la Plata. That walk comes into town from the south. Photos below were taken when the sun was out but much of that walk was in heavy rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve used our rain gear here in Zamora more than we ever did when we were actually walking the Camino. Weather here changes constantly. Sun then rain then sun then rain … . Usually the rain is light but sometimes it is hard. It’s been quite chilly. Highs have been in the low 60s and breezy. Our Airbnb owner complained that Zamora was becoming like Galicia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we were out of town, after the rain stopped, while we were still walking, I called my sweet mom back in Albuquerque. Mother’s Day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After we got back into town we stopped at an ice cream store named “Unconventional World” because the sign said they had unconventional ice cream. I had a Dulce de Leche cone (basically caramel, smooth and creamy) and Charlie had mint chocolate chip. Not particularly unconventional, but we might just go back!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We walked along the river for a while. Looking back across the river toward Zamora. That tall building on the left is the cathedral. (We tried to go inside it a few days ago but it is closed for the month for some kind of renovation.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We finally got out of town and into the countryside. The meseta!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We had to turn around. Walking into town, this would be the first bar the pilgrims would come to after about 11 miles without services, so this is where most pilgrims would stop. We would for sure. Alas, it was closed when we passed it. I was hoping to get a Kas Lim\u00f3n.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
