** St. Martin, Astorga etc **

As much as some bemoan the commercialization of the Camino Frances...the spirit lives on.

If it weren't for the sign...this could be Illinois or Kansas!

One of those moments, when you are glad you decided to call it a day a little early!!
The ladies who made my delicious dinner possible in St. Martin del Camino.

And my salad as fresh as fresh can be!

Ok...what is with Spain and a sky that screams to be photographed at every turn?
See what I mean!

And again...breathtaking!
Cleaning up after a medieval fair!  While I heard it was fab, glad I missed the crowds that were also unreal!

So...got the prettiness without the crowds! The shadow is Enzo, the guy with the heart transplant!!  We crossed paths regularly till he went home to Italy!  Truly an inspiration.
Donativo!  A place to rest on the way to Astorga, offering coffee, tea, juices etc...as well as words of encouragement!

  1. Karin, your pics are great - so clear - but I can only seem to get them on 'Follower' alerts, not on your main blog. And therefore not sure whether you're getting my comments?

    Perhaps this is my abysmal cyber-ignorance, or something!

    Anyhow - keep 'em coming!

  2. I can read your comment Robert so I know Karin can :-) She is manipulating the dates to place them in the right place chronologically with her walk entries- so they are not appearing at the 'top' of her blog.

  3. Margaret...thanks for 'splainin!!

    Robert...I usually try to put a new one at the beginning...telling you where to look, but..sometimes I forgets! Thanks for the compliment...that little camera was my best piece of equipment, besides the pack!
