I left the cathedral and walked through the city. The sidewalks and pavement are hard on the feet
Eventually I made it to the countryside.
And into small towns.
Eventually I got to the albergue and opted for the dinner option. I’m glad I did. I think I made a few new friends. I met a girl that’s traveled all the way from Germany over five months with one cat, two dogs and three mules. Also, I’m at Lucy. She is a newly minted yoga teacher. She has taught a yoga practice at every albergue she has visited on the Camino. I joined her practice and it was a wonderful way to stretch after a long day of walking. We all exchange numbers informed a WhatsApp group. I did this on my last Camino. We still all keep in touch to this day.
What a great first day. I’m off to bed.
