Day 21: Carrion de Los Condes

I was told I couldn’t miss the singing nuns of Carrion de Los Condes. So today we walked only 10 miles and are staying at the convent alburgue. The nun who checked me in repaired my credencial, which is dog-eared, torn, and sweat-stained. Here are today’s pictures.This was breakfast. You smear the tomato on toast, sprinkle it with salt, then pour on oil.If you look very closely, you’ll see there’s a teepee. The smaller arrow points to the number of a taxi service.Sheep with their shepherd. The dog crossed the road first.The meseta. I understand why so many people skip it.Steps as we approached the albergue.This was lunch. I walked 10.1 miles on cafe con leche and two pieces of toast. Yes, I ate the whole thing. No, the beer is not mine.

I sang with the nuns at 5:30. It was wonderful. Was blessed by the priest and got a star from the nuns. Community dinner was wonderful. Only hitch was I waited too long to try and send my pack on so I have to carry it tomorrow. Oh well. I’ve done worse.
