the graphic shows one of my least favorite hiking profiles. I prefer the days that end with an easy downhill, As you can see this one starts with an easy downhill and ends with a steep uphill. And it was very steep and very long not the way we would have preferred to end one of our longest days on the Camino, and one that took us almost into full nightfall!
Although long and arduous the day took us past the 60 km marker and the 40 km marker bringing us down to our last two days on the Camino and another great evening of dinner in conversation with Tony and Lisa.

New friends on the Camino that walked with us for several miles chatting about the Camino and how proud they were to be finishing the hike together
One of the nice things about having extremely flexible schedule has Ben, the ability to stop and smell the roses, spend time where we wanted and not feel as though we were obligated to get through any portion of the Camino on a strict timeframe. This being the case.we opted to stay a couple of days to try to wait out the rain and enjoy the wonderful accommodations at the 1930 hotel and the gracious residence of Arzua.
While in Aruza
Met Oscar and his wife Carla from Glendora, CA (he is a professor) and they have completed different parts of the Camino
Jingle is from CO and doing the Camino solo
Awesome fresh sea scallops
The 1930 hotel. A small boutique hotel of only 13 rooms and what was probably the best food we’ve had anywhere on the Camino. The staff was wonderful across the board and the dining experience was comparable to the best restaurants in the states
Buen Camino
