Yesterday was the longest day we have had yet. After leaving early in the morning from Puenta La Reina and enjoying our Sunday rest day we ended up walking 32km. The weather is getting much warmer and we are learning that we should start waking up much earlier to walk. 32km was probably a bit too much and we wont be doing that again. We ended our day in Villamayor De Monjardin. This place was a hidden gem that we happen to decided to stay in. This Albergue (hostel) Hogar Monjardin is currenly ran by a Dutch group who take care of the Pilgrims who walk the Camino. They are an absolutely loving group who volunteer their time making delightful meals and making pilgrims feel very comfortable. We broke bread and drank wine with 25 other pilgrims and the Dutch volunteers. Our meal included a fresh veggie salad, steamed rice with meat and vegetables. We were particularly thankful for the vegetables because they are hard to come by here in Spain. There were at least a have dozen languages being spoken at the table with lots of translators. It was our favorite albergue, we felt quite at home.
Today we walked 20km to Torres Del Rio where we are right now. Before we arrived we stopped in Los Arcos where we shared a Sanwich con Jamon y Queso, Brians favorite meal to order. =) Los Arcos had a beautiful cathedral where we spent some time admiring.
The weather is extremly hot and we are waiting for dinner to start soon. Tomorrow we will walk to Logroño.
