Hola friends,  all is well here in sunny Spain. Today, 

Sunday , was an incredibly beautiful day made even more 

beautiful by the full moon this morning. I made an effort 

to start walking this morning while it was still  dark and 

I could walk on the Meseta in Spain under the light of the 

full moon. Pinch me now. Is this for real?  It was glorious.  

And as the moon was setting, the sun was rising. I am 

grateful and blessed and I don't think one can say that 

often enough.  I walked from Calzadilla de la Cueza  to 

Sahagun. A total of about 22.5 k or about 13 miles.  When 

I stopped along the path to admire the sunset a guy I saw 

in the Alburgue stopped to take it in as well and we ended 

up walking  together all day.  I love meeting people on 

the Camino because there is an instant bond and everyone 

has a story.  Brett lives in Virginia back from Louisiana 

after retiring from the military at 40.  He is a consummate 

traveler and will be living in Santiago after he finishes 

his Camino until march.  It was delightful day made even 

more so by the chatting we did from philosophy to politics.  

At one of the crossroads before we got into the city there 

was a man handing out flyers about an alburgue b we took one 

and decided to check it out because it had a kitchen and I 

have been walking with some heavy canned tuna , tomatoes, 

onion and olives I needed to eat.  So we stopped and from 

the outside I thought oh no this is going to be way too 

expensive.   Wrong !!! It was a large room with bunkbeds 

fir 7 euros. The hotel part for a private room was more but 

for pilgrims in bunkbed mode it is great. Clean great showers 

and 4 of them to boot.   I am a happy camper.  Tomorrow 

leaving here and probably walking to Calzadilla de Los 

Hermanillos or El Burgo Ranero.  Have to go now.  Will 

right more later.   Love Camille on the Camino.  Carpe Diem
