15.5km that took forever
Today was one of those days that I just didn't want to walk. There was just no pleasing me today. I procrastinated, I wined and I sulked. I was very coercive with myself.
Today was supposed to be the downhill section. When the trail startled going up hill I yelled at the camino. I let rip a string of vocabulary normally only used by OCA students. I was furious at the mountain and I just wanted the camino to be over.
Lunch options are limited in the middle of nowhere Spain. So it was bocadillos again. Seriously if you sold pizza by the slice on the camino you'd make a fortune.
Then my kindle broke
Sat on a rock pouting for a while but I had to get up eventually because I wasn't going to sleep on the rock.
Saw Garret and Dirk again just long enough for hello and hugs.
I stayed at Albergue Refugio del Oribio.
I went to the store but there is nothing here that I want to eat. I bought two liters of juice and a pack of hoho's. I drank one juice and the rest is tomorrow's lunch. Yup I'm eating healthy! (What I really wanted was to do was cook orzo with sundries tomatoes, feta, artichoke and a little lemon juice... but the store only had the artichoke.) middle of nowhere. Worse than Polk County.
So I went to a bar where they had a €5 pilgrim menu. How much worse can a €5 meal be then some of the bad €10 ones I've had? The first course of "macaroni" unspecified, turned out to be macaroni with tomato sauce and tuna. Ummmm? Yes I ate it. No it wasn't my favorite thing ever. Second course: eggs and French fries, which I am starting to believe really do go well together. They ran out of freezer ice cream cones for dessert and I don't like flan, so yogurt won. Plain yogurt served with a packet of sugar. There must be a ton of sugar in American yogurt flavors because it took quite a bit of sugar to make the yogurt even a little sweet. Not bad for a €5 meal.
Bought a plane ticket back to Boston for August 23. I won't be back to Floriday for at least two months more after that.
