Yesterday was really a lovely walk from Hontanas to Fromista. The weather has gotten cooler which I rather enjoy for walking. I arrived in Fromista and had about two hours to wait for the train to Valladolid. Ina and Sang Kyoung (pictured here) spent the whole time with me before I left. They checked into the albuergue and then we had a drink. Then they went with me to the train station to see me off. After nearly two weeks with Ina and a week with Sang Kyoung, I was sad to say goodbye. I´m not sure that I'll catch them but we have made arrangements to meet in Santiago if I do not see them sooner. The short train ride brought me to Valladolid where my dear friends, Maite and Maria Jose picked me up at the station. I had not seen them for nearly 8 years. We met up with their husbands and kids as well and I´ll get to spend more time with all of them this afternoon. Maite, Maria Jose, Goyo and Alberto all congratulated ourselves and each other on not having changed in the least in the last 8 years. Maite brought me home and I´ve been living the life of luxury. I have a comfortable bed in my own room, a great bathroom, freshly laundered clothes, meals prepared for me and a super-huge thick bath towel. It might be hard to go back tomorrow morning. I also had a chance to post pictures here on the blog--there is one for each previous entry as well as those on the sides. Maybe it will help you picture things better. The pictures of the countryside are pretty much my wonderful view all day everyday. Tomorrow morning I plan to take the train back to Fromista and walk just about 12 miles to Carrion de los Condes.

Potts - Loved the pictures you posted! I found myself this morning crawling out of bed, grabbing my laptop and heading back to bed to read your posts. This has been such an adventure and I am sure a life changing one. Wonder what or who you will find next...
owkrihseI've been gone for two days and what a delightful surprise when I logged on to catch up and there were pictures. Yeah! Is your adventure drawing to a close? I almost panicked when you said you got on a plane... No, no, no - I can't bear it. I mean it's not that I don't want you to come home, but what a fun arm chair adventure this has been for me. I think on a regular routine you need to explore different parts of the world and blog for those of us trapped behind! :o) Love it.
