Walking Day 7 - Bercianos to Mansilla de las Mulas – 26 km – 16 miles

Last evening on the Camino was magical – we stayed in lovely rooms above a bar and restaurant in a small farming village, and it was warm until late.  I met two women from Brisbane, Australia and had a wonderful conversation with them. I watched the sun go down, and I watched it come up this morning. 

This morning I woke up with the pain in my ear / jaw much worse, and so I asked Jorge to take me to the doctor.  My experience with the Spanish health system was less than stellar, and since most of the day was spent before I could get out and walk, my trek today was way too short.

The weather is changing and I hear a lot of thunder under gray clouds.  No rain yet, but I imagine it is coming.  The noise from the street below hurts my ear, and my room and bed are dreadful.

On the road if life, everyone gets a bummer day once in awhile.

Today was mine.
