Castrojeriz to Fromista - May 19, 2015

It was another very cool (5C) and windy morning starting out and had "Mule  Killer Hill" to look forward to. One kilometre more or less straight up. Hope my training/walking so far will help me out.

There it is in the distance...

OK, got through it with only 2 (or3) stops for breath, but then on the other side, it was steeper (at least it was going down). No falls or other catastrophes

More rock balancing

And fields..

And poppies

And fields of poppies - Did you know that this is Tierra de Campos (Land of Fields)?

In the province of Palencia

Met this character at a rest stop. More later - he/she is travelling with 3 humans and is their porter.

Boadilla del Camino with 16th century Santa Maria church

Canal de Castilla - originally a canal system used to transport crops and run corn and grain mills, now used for irrigation. I walk into Fromista along this pleasant tree-lined space.

Another of the Romanesque churches, Iglesia de San Martin, consecrated in 1066. And right next door to my hotel..

The Nave of San Martin

The Altar

Donkey (sorry, never got her name or gender, but she was so calm and sweet, I assumed she's a she) and her people are staying at the same hotel as me. Here she is - unpacked, shift is over, and off to her dinner and bed...like me.
