Logrono

I had another early start 6:30 and ended up at Logrono at 11:30.   I walked 28km today.    I was treated to the sun rise again this morning.



This is the first town Sansol its about 6k away.

A closer look at Sansol, and  as you can see, today there were other Pilgrims on the road

And the first Church, there is always a Church.

The water fountain outside the cemetery

I started seeing these wind mills yesterday.  You can see them in the distance

And this mountain range always seams to be there. Don't know if its the same one.

The wind mills keep getting closer.   I love the look of a row of windmills, it gives me hope for this planet of ours. 

An old cross along the trail.  I wondered if it is where someone died from years ago doing this walk?

It was rolling hill farm country for a good part of the morning.

And we are in wine country, lots of grapes

The second Church of the day



And this is the side door

All day long, you see Pilgrims

2 Australians on the left.   Between them, me and the young guy on the right we kept passing each other  all morning.    They actually walked faster than me but took breaks and I didn't.   Once I take a break I can't get started again.

Someone had to get rid of another pair of shoes.

Ok 2 pair

First view of Logrono, it is a fairly large city with a population of 120K 

And the welcoming commity.   That nest was only about 20 feet in the air

This is the line up for the Albergue.  The 2 from Australia and I am 3rd.

The 2 nice lady's that sign you in for the night

This is Jennifer and Keith.    I had talked to them through email before I left home, trying to arrange a cab from Pamplona to St. Jean Port de Pied.    They had already arranged to share a cab before we connected.  They are from the US, Georgia 

And the pilgrims feet.   I thought my feet hurt until I saw pictures of hers without her bandages on.....trust me you don't want to see them.

This girl had to go to the hospital today. All her blisters were infected. So no walking for them for a couple of days.

The main street here.  There is a celebration is going on.   I haven't found out what it is for yet.    

I was asked what Tapas are.   The next bunch of pics, will give you an idea.   They are all called Tapas, you never know just what you will get.  Theycost from 1 to 2 Euros and this is what they offer for lunch.     Most bars have them, remember bars are coffee shops and cafeterias are bars.  

The side door to the Cathedral

It is monster place the picture does not do it justice
