Castilblanco de los Arroyos
Today we walked to Castilblanco de los Arroyos. What a glorious day this has been as we begin to truly experience the unencumbered life. It is spring in Spain and the wildflowers are in bloom. The sun is warm and the air is cool and we have had a relatively easy walk today. A mere 15 miles in about 63 degree weather. The hills are alive with the multiple blooms of wildflowers and even the grazing cows are are a beautiful sight to our eyes. We are staying in a beautiful Casa de Rural or farmhouse. We have the entire house to ourselves and are feeling very much at home.
We grab a quick tapa of spinach and chickpeas with some warm meatballs and a cool glass of wine. We have done our laundry for the day and will head to the market soon in preparation for tomorrow's 20 mile walk. People stop us as we walk, excited that we are peregrino's on our way to Santiago de Compostello. I wish our Spanish were a little better...but we are still able to engage in conversation with the local people we are meeting.
We are the recipients of so much kindness. I have come to understand that a little kindness goes a long way and I hope to cultivate this within myself. I am thankful that I am a piece of work and still teachable in the eyes of my Creator.
Holy Week...so much too think about as we meander through this beautiful countryside. Thinking of you...you are so very loved.
Buen Camino.
