Hospital de Orbiga....in the rain...

Oh how I hate the rain...especially when I have to walk in it....I know the Spaniards need the rain as much as we do at home...I just wish it would rain at night....wouldnçt even matter if it was overcast during the day but the rain ¡ cold wind together donçt make for very pleasant walking.
Walked about 10 kms today ¡ it was all beside a very smelly road....everyone seems to use diesel...so we tried to find a bus only to be told that the only bus had already gone for the day....so we were lucky to spot a taxi going in the other direction....he was of course happy to take us plus another Canadian couple to here....couldnçt wait to get a lovely hot cafe con leche after we had booked into the albergue. This one is run by a priest who has the church next door...bit of a dodderer....but it would be lovely here if the sun was shining...there is a lovely courtyard ...they are great sun traps if the sun is shining....which it isnçt. It is so cold here....glad I bought a scarf in Leon....should have bought a hat as well.
Tomorrow we set off on a more natural path throught he countryside so are looking forward to that...it will be good not to breathe the fumes
Our feet are standing up quite wll....my toe is much much better....have just been talking to a Dutch couple who said if you have the right mind=set and look after brother donkey [the body] then the feet will look after themselves....if your body and mind are well...so will your feet be well
Tried for an hour and a half yesterday to post some photos nut donçt seem to be able to achieve this....looks like we will have photo=less blogs and you will all have to wait until we get home....asked some locals to help but they were all decidedly unhelpful.
managed to get some cold medication for Johnnie yesterday and he seems to be feeling a bit better...though still obviously quite stuffed up.
Thatçs about it for today....by the way...John hashad to pull in his belt a bit more ...his trousers are looking decidedly baggy
Love to all
