May 25th - Castilla la Vieja

Still having trouble inserting photographs into this site. As a result I will rely entirely on words.

Today we participated in Corpus Christi in Santo Domingo de la Calzado. We then walked across the farm lands laden with wheat, potatoes and peas, as we headed into Castille. Tonight we are in a hostal beside the highway. Tomorrow we have 22 kilometres to do before we rest.

The weather has been wet. Not continuous rain, but enough dampness to cause people to worry about mildew on the vines. We will try absorb enough good wine memories from previous vintages to soften any sadness over a poor 2008.

Enough for now.

¡Qué grata sorpresa!

Prcisamente abajo del registro del domingo 25, donde dices que tienes dificultad para colocar fotos y que en fefinitiva, recurrirás a las palabras, he encontrado una interesante serie de fotografías, colocadas el día 23, que no había visto.

Confío en que más adelante surja de nuevo la posibilidad de que nos muestres tus fotografías.

Saludos a Encarnita, con admiración a su capacidad caminante.

Dad -
I can post some pics for you, but they clog my inbox at work. Send them to my yahoo account.
BY the way, my adventures continue; I had an excellent bike tour in Prince Edward County, visiting NOrman Hardie's vineyard. His operation was by far a highlight -- the best wine and the most natural hospitality.
