Day 58 14.5 miles Total 744
Today started warmer than the recent days. The camino was the same tedious gravel path alongside quiet country roads.
The 1st village, Reliegos, and coffee stop was over 8 miles. The bar I stopped at had walls covered in graffiti and the owner was a character.
The meseta gradually changes, and today there were a lot more trees in the landscape.
At Mansilla de las Mulas after crossing the river the path was beside a busy main road. I met up and walked the final mile into Puente Villarente with an interesting American guy, I'd talked to before, Tolo.
We booked into a smart albergue, and met up for the evening later.
He lives incredibly simply. just the small backpack he has here and a suitase of possesions in the USA at a friends house.
We were joined for the evening by an artist from Grenwich Village, Dawn. At the end of the evening she told us how mice it was to share her 50th birthday with us !
Tolo and I talked until after midnight back at the albergue.
There is so much of our past that is similar, especially India. It's rare to meet someone that I have so much in common with.
