Day 17

20km from astorga to rabanal. Our earliest start yet.. Out the door by 6.45. Thank goodness because it was warm... We were happy to be done our trekking by noon. We saw another lady from Sweden that we met on the first day and hasn't seen since.

Mostly walking along the highway and a gradual incline over the day. Sometimes at the end of the day we get a little spurt on sort of like the cows heading for the barn. (Mom says)

Our albergue here is awesome. Lovely lovely hosts, by donation breakfast included, and tea time with biscuits at 4.30. It's amazing when you finish the day you still hobble around town to check it out and amazingly your feet seem to feel okay(usually) the next day.

And.. Teds back! Ted with the kilt. Excited to see him. Also met lots of other Canadians today.. One from the mainland, one from Duncan!!

We hope to both walk tomorrow again. Plan to meet up with our Kathleen from Washington, D.C. I have been keeping up with the ice and ibuprofen. Seem to be feeling okay.
