Yesterday was a cakewalk compared with today. It wasn't raining when we woke up, but it was much colder with a steady breeze. Being a short day we felt no urgency to leave. Within 15 minutes of leaving town, it started to rain. It rained steadily all day. We took cover in a haybarn for a late lunch and then tackled the last 4 kilometers in a punishing headwind. Within 10 minutes after arriving at the albergue, the rain stopped.
There are seven of us here tonight. All new faces to us. We're all headed to the only bar in town for dinner.
The albergue is the only place in town to stay. Seven seems to be about the average number of people we encounter each night. There are about 60 towns along the route with accomodations, so a snapshot would suggest that there are approximately 430 people on the route
right now.
