Alas Joseph was in fine form with his Rhambo like bandana on ( some pilgims called him that) and today pulled away from me as we crossed over into the region called Castilla y Leon. However before that we had coffee and meet up with an Austria dude named Rudy whom we meet the night before. Let me tell you Rudy is hard core. He started walking from Austria (yes freakin Austria) and he sleeps out every single night (talk about frugal). (He must save a ton of money on car insurance.) The guy is a machine or machina if you are in Spain. Anyway, today I felt great thanks to my buddy the medico in Sanata Domingo (I did shake the man´s hand.). I could feel my feet changing, healing, and mutating just like Perter Parker after the spider bite. I kicked butt and was the second person to get to the Albergue called Santa Maria in Belorado. Due to my affinity with Santa Maria I felt it to be a good omen. Unfortunatley, it appears flies do so as well. The albergue was very spartan and had flies were every where and I mean every where. Bathroom? Yep. Hallway? Yep! Sleeping Area? Yep! Dinning table? Dude, there more flies there than on a dead wildabeast in Africa! It was Totally Lord of the flies. So I made the best of it. The accomadations maybe harboring some lethal disease. But again it was free except for a donation and I ain´t sleeping outside again. While I laid in my bed resting I made sport out of killing them. I even managed to get 4 out of the air with a single swipe. I had some beers in town and ate the most unhealthy chocolate covered waffle cake thing I bought at the supermarcado (definitely not atkins aproved). At 8:00 PM there was mass and a special service in the churchfor pilgrims. The church was lierally attached to the albergue. It is the first time ever (I think ) I was not late for church. Check that goal off my list... Went to bed. Next day heading into the mountains. Thank you for reading and for the comments I means a great deal to me. I hope to post some pictures when I get a chance.
Miles to Santiago: 363.
