The WiFi at the monastery wasn't working so I didn't get yesterday's post up until this morning.  Today was another long day but almost all downhill. I'm trying to do all my thinking in metric so I reset my GPS watch to kilometers. Today it said I walked 27 kilometers and it made this nifty map... 

mostl it was through beautiful forest but there was some road walking and an industrial area. 

Walking down vertical shale beds. 
The mangnesite processing plant. 
The Camino on the road. 
Trail sign showing pilgrims where to leave the road. 
Tonight I'm sharing an 8 bed room with an Italian, a German, a Korean, and 2 Slovenians.

September Planning

 A week to go before I leave for the Camino!  I have been making a possible schedule and packing list.  I'm also starting this blog...  I don't know who'll be reading it, so please make a comment for me so I know. Here's the schedule.  There is almost no chance that I'll be exactly on this schedule.  Part of the Camino pilgrim experience is going without knowing exactly where you'll end up that day.  I have quite a bit of flexibility so if I need recovery days, it shouldn't be any problem.  I might want to walk slower too.  Days Walking Destination Notes Target Lodging Reserve ?
