We started about 7:30 and got to Rabanel about 1pm. Hope you don't think we are lazy, but most people stop at least by 2pm as the albergues start to fill up and you don't want to have to walk another 5-10km at the end of the day. We also have to do laundry- usually by hand but sometimes there is a washing machine/ dryer. Clothes just dont get clean by hand wash in cold water, just takes off sone of the smell. I an quite tired of my 3 outfits ! Also if you want to eat you must do so before the siesta or you are out of luck! We are staying at a nice little place with a bar next door ( bars are more like cafes with beer and wine) and our lunch was really good! Andy had a grilled chicken sandwich with cheese and bacon and about 1/4 c of mayo! I had gazapacho... Meh.. but I tried it! Thought it would be more like chopped vegetable soup but it was puréed. Not bad just not what I thought. Also ordered a tuna sandwich.. Out came a 12" long sandwich of tuna and tomato-- that's all. Thank goodness Andy had mayo to spare from his sandwich : )

Lisa and Andy, Wow, the mountains are beautiful. They look pretty far away. It should be cooler in the mts. You will have to try and make some of the food you sampled on your trip so we can see how "good" it was. Ha, ha. Be safe. Love and prayers, Lisa
ReplyDeleteOh man! Did you ever think you'd be saying prayers for the gift of mayo??
ReplyDeleteOfficially jealous of your little bar/cafe there! and super kudos for trying the soup! New places, new things...new memories!
