We are in Belorado

Yesterday we walked from Torres Del Oro to Belorado. It was a hot morning and Jaz wasn´t having it.... Well...she was a little more quiet than usual. But we made it through it. About a mile outside of our destination we stopped in a town for a Sandwich con Jamon y Queso. At around 1pm we finally made it to Belorado. The first hostel we were going to stay in was full... this was our first experience of having to be turned away. So we walked two blocks and found this charming hostel ran by a local family. The host was very helpful and began speaking English to us both. She informed us that they made Pilgrim dinner for their guests if we wanted to attend. Right away we both agreed and went to shower.

Brian right away noticed the pool and said let jump in for a dip after we shower. It was so refreshing and it cooled us down right away. There was a little boy named Gabriel who was around 2 years old who´s grandmother was watching him play in the yard. Right away Gabriel was amused that we were wetting our feet, he too wanted to join in on the fun. He began to wet his feet and play hide and go seek with us. Brian even started speaking spanish with the little boy saying ¨Donde esta Gabriel¨ ....

We took naps and got our clothes washed and at around 7:30pm we were headed upstairs for a delicious three course meal... salad, pasta and lemon chicken with potatoes... we also got flan with a bottle of wine oh yes and lets not forget our dessert shots that were offerd to us after our meal. We were also treated to a surprise performance from fellow pilgrims who sang a french song. We have no clue what they were singing about, but they did a fine job.

We had a much needed and enjoyable rest day today in Belorado. It was filled with food, Spanish TV and snacks from the fruiteria. Tomorrow we will be walking again and by Tuesday we should be in Burgos. Hasta luego...
