Donna - May 1, 2015 Estella --> Los Arcos

Donna - May 1, 2015

After a fairly restful night, our B&B hosts Pablo and Theresa provided a wonderful breakfast and predicted that it would probably rain today.  Unfortunately, they were right so we walked the majority of our way through rolling hills and fields to Los Arcos in the rain. 

We stopped for some cafe con leche halfway but never ran into the  boys on this leg.  Both of us had paploma legs coming into Los Arcos but Kim decided to check on other options beside the albergue ( most places had booked up due to May first holiday).  Kim luckily found a little pension with a private room for us and a tub.  It was a nice little treasure,

The other fortunate thing was we were able to eat after arriving which was a real blessing.  Our pilgrim menu was a mixed salad for me and spaghetti for Kim.   We both had the ham steak and the French fries that accompanies every meal.   We topped this off with an ice cream.  As if this wasn't enough we had the company of another pilgrim Marlene who is from San Francisco, 71 years old and doing the camino for the second time.  She is a therapist and gave us some of her advice for free. I hope we run into her again but she didn't plan on going as far in the morning as Kim and I were planning which is Logrona (23 km).
