Rain Rain rain, second day running, non stop and not fun. A lot of straight roads, lots of traffic and the feeling that the scenic part of the walk is well behind us.
Highlight of the day was Isabel looking for some lunch at 11.30am, seriously on energy level 1/10 and needing something before a total meltdown took place! After several attempts I walked into a hotel and was told by the lady no lunch until 1pm, before an old man sitting on a stool at the back of the bar said ´NO NO, she looks too tired, come here girl´ before taking me into the kitchen and sitting me at a small wooden table. I was presented with a beautiful vegetable soup, steak and chips(good for once) and a big bowl of salad. He kept talking to me about where we started and said he now meets few people who come all the way, lots of ´lazy´ pilgrims who only do half of it. After saying a big thank you and feeling some energy to keep going I went to pay at the bar to be told it was all complementary, he wouldnt take a cent from me. Amazing experience.Saw these small raised houses on stilts and had an entertaining discussion as to what they were for.. bes t suggestion was from Minna from Finland, for dead bodies. After some investigation it was cleared up that they exist for a rather more mundane reason, to store potatoes and corn on the cobs.. At least some of us are imaginitive!
Continued on to the far less than scenic Arzua, horrid little town where an early night was in need once more.
