Montamarta and Granja de Moreruela Stages 19 and 20

October 1
Montamarta 17km Stage 19
The trek continued to take us through rolling hills of wheat fields. This portion of the Camino tests your mental state. We have dealt with and overcome our physical challenges, and it is our mental state that is being challenged as we march through endless fields of wheat. There many hours to reflect on past experiences and future hopes and dreams. It is also a time to think and wonder about our grand children and hope that they are enjoying there time at school.

October 2
Granja de Moreruela 20km Stage 20
Another day of testing our mental state. Unfortunately this stage of the trek went through the construction of a new high speed rail and super highway connecting the north-west region of Spain to Madrid. We were warned of the many re-directs and therefore decided to walk the road. Not the most pleasant experience, but we were able to reduce our waking time by an hour. Not much to do in in Granja, but relax. Lunch at about 1:30, which was followed by a siesta.
