Logrono Sept. 11,2014 Thursday

After a nice bath, I feel like a new person. Then of course the obligatory laundry, what does not dry hangs over my backpack & the Sun dries it while I walk.

We'd. Sept.10 From Estella to Torres del Rio

I was walking in the dark with Pam & we totally missed the detour to the Fountain of Wine & Water given free to all peregrinos. My Canadian friends fill their water bottle & I caught up with them at a roadside store. Tradition was to drink the wine in my shell.

Thurs. Sept. 11,2014 From Torres del Rio to Logrono

The best night sleep I had in a week, I have the penthouse section of Albergue Mariela in Torres del Rio, actually it was the 4th floor, no elevator. No snoring!!! Most of the peregrinos stayed in Los Arcos which was also my destination but I got there at 14:00 & decided to continue on to Torres del Rio another 7-8 km. it was so hot, no shade to rest so I was thankful I always carry a reserve water bottle. I arrived in Sansol where I found my new friends. The E31 includes lodging, dinner, laundry & breakfast, not bad. But my Canadian friends who I have asked to save a bed for me was in T. del Rio. It was only 1 km more so after I had a nice cold water, I was ready to go to del Rio.got there at 17:00, bath, wash clothes & dinner. That's mostly my day.
