September 11 Hornillos to Castrojeriz

It's truly amazing how each day can be so different. Seeing different landscapes and monuments, and meeting different people. It is truly and exciting adventure. What was noticeable today were the number of windmills on various hilltops, which is not surprising, given the lack of rivers to build dams. And the monument, Convento de San Anton was amazing, and it's possible to stay in the albergue built in the ruins. Castrojeriz is beautiful town with beautiful churches and a castle high above the town on the hilltop. We were fortunate to experience Saturday night in a small village, which consisted of a parade of children led by street entertainers that ended at the church were the bells rang for a long time calling the village people. There were many people dressed in fine close making there way to the festival.

It is interesting note how Julie has adjusted to el camino, and often taking the lead and far ahead of Mario during most of the day. Mario is always complaining of sore feet...what a whus! See Pictures>>
