Day 16- Viloria de Rioja to Villfranco Monte de La Oca

Just a few things from last night.  We dined with four young guys from Italy, England and South Korea. Dinner conversation was very insightful and engaging.  A true pilgrims’ meal.

Today we slept in a bit because the weather was much cooler. At times I was a bit chilled.😊it was a bit odd not being led by our long shadows in the morning.  We walked about 24 km and most of the time were under cloud cover.  The terrain hasn’t changed much the last two days.

On the Camino you are led by yellow arrows and seashells. In larger towns there are usually shells embedded in the sidewalks.  In one of the towns today they had these cleaver street tiles to lead us through.

 
Our albergue tonight is attached to a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️hotel. The owner has done the Camino and he wanted to give back by making part of the hotel an albergue for pilgrims. The dorms are very nice and we have access to the hotel restaurant and bar.

I am a woman of age reinventing myself in my 70’s. I owned a restaurant for 36 years, was a high school CTE instructor in Culinary Arts, and I’m now looking for my next chapter in life. I am restless. I do know that hiking, travel, and sharing my love of food and wine will play a part in my new adventures.
