Peg got new shoes in Sarria and the blisters evaporated...yahoo!
The day's hike after her rest day and everyone else's hard climb was delightful. At the end we stayed in a funky albergue in the countryside. I spotted a geological benchmark on the train station in El Burgo Ranero, and decided to take a photo of it for my USGS friends. Then I spotted two more as we walked across northern Spain. Unfortunately, I didn't find any on the tops of the various mountains we climbed over. Not at the highest point we trekked over, but the sign below will have to do
Peg´s plantar faciitis and blisters required she take a magic carpet ahead while Russ, Pam, amnd James hiked the 13 miles down from O Cebreiro. The magic carpet was provided by Taxi O Rubio and was a major ripoff. Rubio stated a price at 15 euros and then demanded 50! I did not pay that, but more than the 15 he quoted. Avoid Taxi O Rubio!
Pam, James and Russ climbed down and up and down and up...starting in 34 degrees and clouds and ending in beautiful cold sunshine. |
