Logrono to Ventosa

Logrono to Ventosa

Today we left Logrono and walked nearly fourteen miles to the quaint town of Ventosa. We had considered traveling a bit further today but this little village nestled in the middle of some of the most spectacular grape vineyards captivated us almost immediately. We are staying and already we have set out to explore.

I have noticed a change in the way our days seem to enfold. In the beginning of our journey we seemed to be more focused on the task of our  destination. How far to walk, where to stay the night, who we would meet and where predominated our thoughts. As we enter our tenth day we have definitely picked up the spirit of the true pilgrim. When asked where we are going we reply that we don't as of yet...we will see where the spirit leads us. We have been exactly where we are supposed to be each and every day.

We stayed at a lovely abergue and we were awakened by the sound of the most beautiful Gregorian chants playing through the hallways. It was like a beautiful dream.

We are off today...not quite sure where but I know it will be perfect.

Buen Camino
