NARRATIVE: Today, it rained, as forecasted. It didn't start until 9:00, but it really poured for a good hour. Fortunately, we were just outside of Viana, so we trodded on into the town and stopped into a cafe for hot chocolate and muffins.
At 10:15, it seemed that the worst was over, so we headed on out. By 11:00, it was raining again and didn't let up all the way to Logrono. I really wanted to stay in the same place as in 2015 which we eventually found with some effort. Well worth it. We have our own room with 2 beds with sheets and blankets, a t.v., a bathroom with soap, shampoo and towels for 30€. So nice to have some privacy, to be able to spread out our wet stuff and charge electronics without worry. We both took long hot showers and I took a nap while Tere put ice on her recently twisted ankle. Gotta love the slippery mud/rocks. While I was skyping, Tere went out again and came back with a pair of hiking sandals. She's loving them as she feels no pain! Time will tell, but we're optimistic.
We went to a middle eastern cafe for dinner - I had a falafel and she had a veal sandwich and we split some fries. Great meal for 9.50€. Then back to the room to catch up on blogging while watching music videos. Ah... This is the life.
