It was a walk to be remembered today . Happy peregrinos all around! Gorgeous fields of wheat, wine, and chard.
We are happily ensconced in la hospitaleria Cisterciense in an immaculate room in a remodeled totally modern monastery . Greeted by nuns, food prepared by nuns with a special candy unique to this place.
Lunch occurred at a golf club restaurant in Ciruelena and proved to have some of the best tapas around.
Our bodies are strong and stronger. I no longer have knee or hip issues and I can relax and sleep without my arsenal of therapies. How does walking do this?
Side by side.... Catch the tune?
The grapes
Lunch at the golf course
Santo Domingo de la Calzada has a strong Camino history but I'm not going to write it here.
After dinner, we went to mass at the cathedral. How we're all these huge ornate churches built? Every civilization , every religion: built on the backs of some poor souls. And what is returned ?
We watched the priest take the last gulf of wine out of the communion chalice!!
A lovely concert ensued after mass. Churches have the best acoustics.
Early to rise tomorrow. And sans coffee too. No Internet working here. Will post tomorrow.
Concert in the church- have recording in iTalk.
We should have that photo of the wheat and poppies blown up and hung in the basement to brighten it up and remind us of the peregrino state of mind. ;)
