Greetings from Astorga! It is a lovely little city that has a pizza restaurant, therefore I call it lovely. I've only explored a little so far- old buildings, big churches, and everything closed because siesta is my prime time for exploring. I'm writing this from that lovely pizza restaurant after a not so lovely, yet manageable, 32k walk. Yesterday at the hostel I met a new boy from Denmark and a girl from Austin, Texas. This morning the Danish guy was out the door at the same time as me so we walked together. I thought he would be faster than me - but not in my new shoes! Haha just kidding, but he did walk with me all day. The Texan joined us about halfway through or 14km into the walk. We started out next to the road again, which is really annoying. We finally made our way away from it for the second half of the walk. We had a few small climbs preparing us for the mountains that start tomorrow and we will hit the peak on Wednesday... Oh joy!
The 30k was long but manageable. It was a nice break to walk with others and talk to make it go by faster, have someone to complain to, or entertain you with teaching you Danish.
I don't have anything good to say today... Just pretty tired. As for tonight- it's finding a grocery store for breakfast food tomorrow and church at 8 in some church that St. Francis of Asisi was at in the year 1212... I JUST MISSED HIM! Adios!
