Day 15 June 3 Viana to Logrono


6.5 miles. 16,071 steps
9.5 total including wandering around

It's 3:15 We're in a lovely hotel room with streets of tapas bars and a lovely square with a fountain surrounding us. I just had lunch of white wine and a salted mushroom quinoa salad and a bath in a big tub. Ah, the life of THIS peregrina at THIS moment. 


We should call this Camino, Camino On the Fly.  We decided last night that we would take the bus into Logrono, have a day to look around and continue on. That changed this morning when we decided to walk into Logrono. It was a pleasant 6 mile walk to our hotel which is located 2 minutes from the tapas street.  We'll stay 2 nights and explore this college town. 

Observations:
People know Seattle now when they ask where we are from. Why? The seahawks?

There is a prevalence of smoking.  Not indoors since the EU bans that.

No tipping- it's not customary nor expected.  Food service people are adequately compensated. 

These towns are safe and safer. Children play. Women bike/walk alone. 

It is still light at 10:30pm

No one even starts to think about eating until 8:30 at night and then the tapas bars and restaurants are open until after midnight. Life takes place in the streets.... Not families:)

Breakfast in Viana before leaving for Logrono.

Beautiful walk into town
Asian Peregrinos cover themselves from head to toe to protect from the sun, gloves, scarves over faces. 

Nice place for some  relaxation. A king sized bed- a first!
