Let’s talk about Spanish bathrooms!

Bano Facts:

~If you want to use a restaurant’s bathroom you have to buy something.

~Most bathrooms have motion sensors lights. If you sit still for too long the lights will go out.
~If there is toilet paper, it is never on the roll but rather sitting somewhere else.
~A lot of toilets don’t have seats and if they do they are often cracked or they are loose.
~There is never soap or paper towels.

~Bathrooms are specified for men and women but nobody pays attention to the signs.
~There is always a mop in the bathroom

Below are some random pictures from the day.

Walking into Rabanal del Camino, we were greeted by several gorgeous cows.
When I checked into the hostel and got to my bed, Nikki had surprised me with the a cute backpacker girl that she purchased from the hotel owner! So cute!
Home for the night!

Rabanal del Caminowas such a cute village! There were tons of cats and dogs roaming the streets and all of them were looking for cuddles.

Lunch was amazing and we enjoyed the company of Italians, Spaniards, Australians and me!
I had a great cuddle and nap with this dog. He just loved the attention.
Nikki took one for the team and tried out the foot massage chair. She let us know that it was as painful as childbirth and not to try it!
We went to mass and heard the Gregorian Monks sing. Nikki was even able to get us front row seats. Ultimately it got us in trouble though because we got the giggles during the performance.

Walking home, we met these 4 lovely Senoras who were all 80 years or older. They were so kind and made me giggle. They had all lived in this village since they were little girls and were just hanging out watching the pilgrims.
We have crisscrossed with Marisa and Steve several times over the past few days. Sadly, we are going a different directions tomorrow so we said our goodbyes with promises to keep in touch. With that, we had an early night because it was going to be an early morning!.
