Today most of the way was on flat dirt paths through beautiful farm land and vineyards. Just about every hill today had what is left of a church, castle, or citadelle. We walked through a large village, Los Arcos. Los Arcos had many albergues, but too soon to stop. Today we walked through our first thunderstorm and mud. We walked in it for about 1 1-2 hours. Many other pilgrims were in the same situation. I was wondering why I was packing my poncho....I found out today. Our ponchos kept us dry and warm. Our boots got muddy, but we cleaned them at the albergue in Torres del Rio. Many of us arrived at the same time at the hostel. After handwashing our clothes I went to take a shower...there was Chris from Germany.
Vern, Chris and I went to a local bar to eat a pilgrim meal. Several other pilgrims from our hostel showed up. As usual we are the only Americans.
We keep hearing about Tim from Texas, but so far have not met him. It´s amazing how news travels up and down the Camino.
