Fromista is best known for it's 11th century Iglesia de San Martin finished in 1066. It is said that it is the finest examples of pure Romanesque in Spain. So beautifully simple except for the 300 corbels carved of animals , human a d mystical creatures. Quiet different is the Gothic church of San Pedro about 2blocks away.
I bought a pair of Tevas last night .... Amazing find from a lite store that had "a thing a Peregrino could need. Al even found a Micro fiber towel to replace the one he left a week ago in a albergue. (His favorite Bermuda yacht club one)
Anyway I wore them for about 2 out of the 6 hrs walking today and I think my heels feel a little better. We are in the Muncipal albergue tonight, 8 to a room with 6 rooms, really basic . Two womens showers and heads on this floor but clean so I'm set.
Al isn't feeling great today , a little upset stomach and head ache , says he feels like he is catching a cold. Tbe temperature really swings from cold in the morning to still high 80's in the afternoon and walking in the heat I think really takes it toll. We are hoping tomorrow will be a healthy day... Rain is predicted for the next 3 days.
Al is recording all the countries that we have met people from . At one rest stop today we ca
Chatted with people from Mex, France, India, Germany and a couple hrs later met a young man from Denmark that is a marine engineer that sails for Mersk. The Camino is a struggle but it is an amazingly positive experience. Everyone we have met along the way have been just what you'd hope the whole world could be like.
