Saturday, day 34, en route to Astorga. Another cold, windy day as we finish the plains and head for the hills beyond. As we crossed the historic bridge at Hospital and then the windy fields beyond, the idea began to form that this journey is the stuff of which dreams and epic poems are made. Perhaps ours should be called "the Lay of the Peregringos" or "the Song of the Affluent Unemployed".
Like so much else on this journey, it will come to us...
Hey kids...you remain our daily inspiration! I heard somewhere that if you want to know how flabby your brain has become, just feel your legs. So we did, and we immediately began walking a bit ourselves. Miles of hiking trails in the area and we didn't even know it.... Shame on us! Jay has already dropped 20 lbs (and I managed to not find it this time). I ran across an interesting quote yesterday:

...won't be a problem for the two of you! xoxo Linda & Jay
