From 5:30 am to 8:00 am, it rained. Lots and lots. As we started our hike at 8:30, we were fine, rain wise … but not mud wise. Our really light weight trail running shoes became Frankenstein boots, weighing several pounds each.
Now for the Molinos. Molinos are windmills in Spanish. Everywhere you look, there’s a field if Molinos.
What was cool about today, was we passed a couple of very interesting ruins. This is the remains of a 13th century convent.
And below, the ruins of the castle of Castrojerez.
Like every day before on the camino, we have found or place, washed up, done laundry, and can now focus on the important stuff, like communicating.
As your day of walking is over, my day is just beginning! Speaking of running shoes, have you done any running as you guys thought you would be doing?or, perhaps have they become an extra pair of shoes that you’re carrying? do you find you have too much weight for the pack or just the right amount or wished you’d brought more or different stuff?
