Chasing a Storm
On the Camino, we usually don´t know which town we´ll stop at and call it a night. On Day 13, we left Burgos and decided to stop at Hontanas but not without some excitement. With one hour left of walking, we noticed the full blazing sun disappear from our sight as thick heavy rain clouds took over the sky. We didn´t want to be caught in heavy rain, so we increased our speed. It felt a bit like that Storm Chasers show on The Learning Channel. When we were 1km away from the next town, we were caught by yet another suprise. A herd of sheep suddenly showed up on our path! Fortunately, we got to our town unsoaked, just a bit wet. It was quite a day!

ReplyDeleteHey Tiff! Wow, you are leaving so soon. Are you all ready and packed? Tiff, bring a REALLY GOOD pair of walking shoes. I guess you can buy things here too. Based on our experience on the Camino so far, we have lots of tips and advices for you, Cristina and Lobo in preparation for WYD. To minimize problems with such a huge group of 50!
