Day 7-8

Day 8- June 6 - 32,4 km - Najerra - Redecilla del Camino. An overcast morning makes way to a sunny & hot (caliente) afternoon. Saw the two live chickens at the Domingo de la Calzada Cathedral (related to a fable). I've been eating Tortilla Patata every morning. The landscape here is much flatter. In the valley of Rioja, vineyards are as far as the eye can see and the same can be said about grains and cereals fields that abound on the rolling hills. There's an abundance of red poppies growing everywhere. At times I do feel as if I am moving inside a Claude Monet painting. Pilgrims from all corners of the earth and the Spaniards are extremely friendly. Many walkers are afflicted with blisters, not always very nice to see, even if I am a nurse. I have been spared so far by anything major. There is a very strong fraternity among the pilgrims, even if we don't always understand each other's languages. It's much more of a spiritual trek than religious, so far anyway. Buen Camino!
