October 5 (Sunday)
It's getting to feel a little like the Groundhog Day movie - up at 6:30, brush, shave and breakfast at 7:30, and off to our next destination. This is repeated each day. We have perfected packing our backpacks and we have turned into walking machines. Thankfully we are greeted each day with new scenery and meeting new peregrinos. We can see and feel Fall approaching, crops are being harvested and leaves are changing colour, giving the landscape a beautiful vista. This area of the Camino is interesting, seeing old houses once standing, where built of mud, clay, rocks and straw. Almost all these types of houses are no longer standing but it's amazing that they were inhabited for so many years. Another interest is the many root cellars built into the hillside. They vary in size and it is hard to tell if they are still being used today. I doubt it, as many of these cellars have tall grasses growing at they're doors. Also, in this era, there is little need for cellars as most towns have a super market.
