Salamanca Tomorrow!

I can not believe how quickly the days and miles are going by. We are in San Pedro de Rozados and about 20 km from Salamanca. We have heard how lovely Salamanca  is and we are excited to be there soon.

We have meandered through many little villages and each one of them has been a little different than the one before. Banos de Montemayor was quite cosmopolitan with its museum, bookstore and library. We walked about 2.5 miles away into Puerto de Bejar and sat in the sitting room of a countryside Albergue near the fire while our hostess made us coffee and fried egg sandwiches for lunch. Clean sheets were flapping in the wind after she had hand washed the laundry from the night before. She ran the only place in town where one could stop to eat, drink, or spend the night and it was refreshing to rest here for the moment warm and full after a hardy lunch.

As we transverse the countryside we continue to be  awestruck at the beauty of the ever changing landscape. The crisp blue sky provides the backdrop for the exquisite cloud formations that seem to change from moment to moment. Wildflowers spill on to the roadsides in a variety of vibrant colors and design  and this does not go unnoticed as we move along this Silver Road. The changing hues of the beautiful earth catch our eye as if we had not seen anything as lovely as this before.

We are here. Content. Exactly where we should be for this moment. Free, again embracing the unencumbered life.

You are so loved. Buen Camino.
