Day 13: Granon to Belorado


Leaving the Rioja region!

Taking a rest, only 500km to Santiago ;P

On the road again.

Arriving in Belorado. Check out all the storks´ nests on top of the church.

   
Our bunks in the albergue, we are sharing a room with a German couple who doesn´t speak English. On the bright side, a bunch of our friends are also staying here! TWO MORE GOOD THINGS ACTUALLY! The man who snored like a mac truck last night in the bell tower just checked in, but he isnt in our room! And there is a 16 year old guy from Seattle here too :). These are the pain meds that have been helping us through the day.
There are also bunnies and chicken running around the courtyard, perfect! :D


Not a bad view for an 8 euro room :)

Heading out to dinner, and I am not sure when I will have wifi again. So goodbye for now!

OOH! We also saw a guy about to put ten euro into the pay phone to call his girlfriend in the Congo, so we lent him our skype, which is about a cent a minute :) little things like that make pilgrims happy.

  1. Great memories!! I told your mother that Granon is one of my favs. What did you think? And, a friend of mine told me that we could volunteer in Belorado next summer. Did you like the Belorado albergue?
    Way to go, chicas!!

  2. Incredible views...! Keep the pics coming; we talk about them every day. I spoke to your dad today briefly (bad cell zone, so we were disconnected many times) and I am looking forward to visiting with him and your sisters before we head off to AZ.

    I think you should try jogging now to speed up the walk. You both look strong and in great shape. Try this: jog 2 miles, walk 2 miles.... rinse/repeat. ;-) Do you remember those "too dangerous" spring boots we almost got you for Christmas? You would be a BIG hit on the Camino with those, bouncing to Santiago with back flips! I bet no one has ever done that before.
