Todays Selfie

I left early to swing by the cathedral on my way out of town.
The streets were empty.
The park statue looked cool with its lighting.
I saw a Tesla charging station and had to share a picture with Howard.
My 5 year old maturity level made me take this picture. I thought of tons of inappropriate things to say but will leave them to your imagination.
Dominic, your Virgin is here waiting for you!
Todays dog of the day.

The scenery was a lot dryer than some of the other places we have been.

Love seeing the storks. There are a lot of nests!
Random gym equipment is placed in parks!

After 14 miles of walking next to the freeway, we finally made it to San Martin del Camino. It was a long, boring walk and the only excitement was pretending to pull the chain for the truck drivers hoping they would honk their horn. I got about 20 honks throughout the day. It made me giggle each time!

Home for the night!

Nikki and I got into town around 12:30, checked into our alburgue and had a look around town. It was a ghost town with only 1 bar and a small grocery store. We decided to take a quick nap and then catch a cab to Astorga to check it out. First we went to the Chocolate Museum and then we went to the Astorga Cathedral.
Knowing we would be walking to Astorga the next day, we were unexcited about the drive home because we saw the trek we would be walking the next day and it was along the road and felt very far.

The Astorga Cathedral had a really cool VR set up so you could see all of the different views of the cathedral. It was really well done.
While walking back to catch the taxi we ran into Audrė from Lithuania. She is moving on so I’m not sure we will meet up again! Buen Camino Audrė!

It was a great mini adventure and we were still able to make it home for the communal dinner!

I had a private room but had to use the shared restroom. It was nice just to have some privacy.
The Alburgue Manager was very helpful and had her hands full with all the pilgrims!
