NARRATIVE:  We left this a.m. before sunrise so we could walk in cool weather. It was sunny all day so the umbrellas we out after our breakfast stop. Tere's feet are feeling better so we walked well today. As we got to San Anton, a tractor almost hit two pilgrims. Pretty scarey for us, but they didn't even flinch. After Castrojeriz, there was a tough, fairly long hill. The descent was much shorter, but much steeper as well. As we were going down, Frederic caught up with us again and walked with us for a while. 

I felt hungry all day, so I kept snacking. Unfortunately, by dinner time, I wasn't as hungry so I forced myself to eat my meal, which was amazing. 

We're sharing a room with the Mexican couple we met in Granon. At last, no bunks for 1€ more each - money well spent. Plus, I was able to wash all my laundry. A great day.
