Logroño


After we got into Logroño (by bus :) ) we walked to the municipal albergue. We were the first people to arrive, and we quickly noticed how closely packed the beds were. The three other bunk beds were given to smelly, sweaty men. Mom said it smelled worse than any locker room she´d ever smelled, and we checked into an inexpensive hotel around the corner. THANK GOODNESS! We then walked the short distance back to the albergue to wait outside to greet our friends when they arrived. WE ended up running into ALL of our friends, and a few decided to stay at the same hotel as us.

Later, we all met up to go to Calle Laurel (a street famous for its tapas bars) for dinner


We met a group of Irish women who we had seen a bunch of times on the trail. They all get together every year to do a week of the camino from where they last left off.

Mom and Szusza from Hungary, she walks at the same pace as us :)

A picture of us with Andy from Ireland. This was his last day before heading to camp in the Pyrenees.

    Yea!!!!!..........finally some pics of mom and she looks beautiful! I was starting to wonder if you were really doing the camino alone. Lol. Sounds like the hotel was a great idea and a welcome treat. Amazing the things we take for granted every day. Thinking of you every day and as always looking forward to your next post. Love, Aunt Lizzy. Xoxo

    Ha! I was thinking the same thing as Liz - finally your mom is in some pictures!!! :) Keep the blog posts coming, they're terrific. You're going to be so happy you have this "diary" to go back to and read after your all finished. Looks like the hotel and mini-break were just what both of you needed. Love to you both and take care! Love, Aunt Jo

    I think I could do the camino like the ladies from Ireland...a week a year, picking up where they left off! That's an awesome idea. Love reading your posts and seeing your pictures!!
