Camino Again!

After spending a week in Valdelavilla, I hitched a ride to Soria with one of the Spanish participants. My intention was to board the bus and head to Logrono that day. I was so exhausted, I decided to stay one night in Soria and then get the bus to Logrono the next day. After sleeping 12 hours (!!!) I am now in Logrono, ready to start walking tomorrow.  It is a very different scene from last fall, weather-wise. It's quite cool, which I don't mind at all, but it is raining. In all the time I walked last fall, I cant remember even one drop of rain. Let's hope the weather improves over the next day or two. My intention for doing this is partly to walk the bit that I had to take the bus through because of my blisters, but also because I have signed up to walk Hadrians Wall starting May 4th and after spending a lot of time in countries where it is difficult to exercise, feel the need to do some training. I really love the Rioja area and I am looking forward to spending some time exploring Santa Domingo and other villages where there are some monasteries and places off the beaten track which are worth seeing. I plan to walk about a week and this should help get me and my feet ready for my next walk.  Buen Camino!
