Day 9 on the Camino









October 8, 2009

This was our toughest day of walking, lots of climbing and descending. Nancy described it as rolling hills but no one agreed. We end in a small town with a large Benedict monastery. Nancy gives an optional tour and all but one go with her. I think it was a mistake. We are all tired and just wanted to go to the hotel. Dinner was huge and we ate till we were stuffed which is not good. Dinner is over past 10 and we need to get up at 7am. It is so terrible to go to bed with a full stomach but this is the routine here in Spain. I don’t know how the people do it. At home Emi and I eat at 6pm. We are of the senior group. (Later we find out people in Spain do not eat their big meal at 8:30. The big meal is at 2pm. 8:30 is like a snack)
