So spent the afternoon in there rest/bar with a Canadian couple. Our young Japanese friend that we hadn't seen for a week showed up on the path today and is in the bed next to me tonight so we are catching up and her experiences since we last talked. She had been having lots of foot problems and her pack was too heavy so she also lightened her pack , sent lots of things including her hiking boots back to Japan and bought another pair of lighter shoes, had two rest days and now has caught up to us. She is in her 20's and is for now walking with a Japanese and Korean guys around her age. They are in our room too and a lot of fun.
Had dinner tonight with our 5 French friends who will be leaving the "way" tomorrow and taking a train back to France. They walk a couple weeks every year together. We will miss them. In fact lots of the people we've met are no longer walking for various reasons. Some though are in for the whole distance, or that is their intent.
The walk today was sooooooo boring. Yes it was partly on a 200,000 year old Roman road but 17km of straight gravel roads flat with the same scene over and over again. Oat fields, sunflower fields with occasional rows of poplar trees, really flat. We sure hope tomorrow brings a little variety but others have said it is like this for a few more days. All 16.6 miles in my Tevas today and just a little soreness in my feet. I think Tevas are my friends.
The town is tiny It was a stronghold of the Knights Templar now has several huge grain storage barns and lots of tractors. Time to get some sleep. All is well on the Camino.
