DAY 29 To La Laguna

Today it rained!  We were soaked.  My Merrill waterproof hiking shoes leaked and I spent the day walking in wet socks.  This is very bad for feet; especially road weary ones like mine.  To make matters worse, my waterproof gloves were soon saturated.  This wasn't supposed to happen.  Regardless, we marched 17 Kms and up the mountains about 600 meters (1,830 feet) to La Laguna. There isn't much there, but they do have a nice Albergue.  We were in a room with seven beds, all were being used.

We ate at the bar downstairs.  The food was not very good.  Even the bacon was undercooked and full of gristle.  Fortunately, we had a nice lunch earlier.

We met a woman from Indiana named Heidi.  She was a hoot!  We loved her what you see is what you get personality.  She has decided we are all crazy for walking the Camino.  At this point, Vic and I were hard pressed to make an arguement for walking.  The climb to La Laguna had worn us out and we still have to go on up to O Cebreiro tomorrow morning.

We went to bed hoping that it wouldn't rain tomorrow.
