Day 18 Castrojeriz to Fromista (April 5)

We thought we´d walk to Boadillo today but decided instead to go all the way to Fromista for a cash machine. We did stop in Boadillo at the albergue En El Camino and the hostess was so friendly and the setting so tranquil and welcoming that I´m sorry we aren´t spending the night. The route into Fromista was very nice, along the canal lined with mini wildflowers. We´ve seen the snow covered mountains to our North most of the way. Hopefully we won´t be walking into them. I got my first blister today. Imagine 2 weeks without any trouble and now I get a blister. When we arrived in Fromista we felt like we were in the wild west. But instead of a herd of cows, a herd of sheep were going down main street. We were pretty tire so decided to stay at a Camino Santiago hostal tonight. It is adjacent to the albergue. We went to the albergue to access the internet and it looked quite nice! I liked Fromista. It seemed to be a properous town. We were going to try the restaurant recommended in the Brierley book, but it seemed from the menu to be a bit pricey so we went somewhere else.

  2. The same thing happened to me - after a couple of weeks, all of a sudden a blister!! Go figure! Right when you think you won't have to deal with that, you do! Take good care of it, and don't push too hard, so it gets worse!
    Ah, my favorite albergue (or one of them!) En El Camino!
