Can you believe I have been walking for 19 days?!? Who would have thought I could do it?? I have walked about 420km!! That's an average of 22km per day!
Today I did about 23km - it was an easy day. Suzie the Danish girl walked with Annie and I as her walking companion decided to take the hard and desolate route! That way was not for us!
Anyways-i woke up this morning to a lovely surprise! I could feel the side of my face was swollen. Some lovely bug bit me a few times and I was all swollen! Ewwww!! Luckily I have some bug cream and I took an allergy pill. The swelling is mostly gone and I don't look like I just went to the dentist.
So the route is really boring lately so no pictures. We just walk by the road mainly. Today was nice and relaxing. I even pampered myself and had my big backpack sent forward! After I did an amazing job yesterday waking up super early and getting to the end by 2:00 I spoiled myself and paid someone else do my laundry and then paid someone to drive my bag :) made for a good day today. And even with a slow pace we arrived at 2:00 today! Now I am at the bar having a Spanish tortilla (freshly made just for me!!) And relaxing!! This waking up early thing might be the way to go. That way I don't have to walk much during the hottest part of the day! So I think I will join the early risers from now on!
That's really all to say. Walking through the meseta isn't terribly exciting. After tomorrow I should arrive in Leon and after that starts the mountains again! While I hate walking uphill it might be nice to have a change of scenery!!
Hasta manana!
