Another successful day. A bit foot sore again but with the help of my mantras I can better handle the last 5 km. Despite being surrounded by gray clouds on all horizons we didn't get hit by a ton of rain. Since I pushed yesterday, I had an easier time with the hills and the last 5 to 7 km was very flat. This morning I tried out putting feminine pads in my shoes to soften the blow from the trail. (A piece of advice from a fellow hiker who was told by his sister.) It worked pretty well for a while but my crazy feet flattened them fairly quickly.
More amazing sites today and I got lucky and went to an overview (on the border of Viana) in the opposite direction of the trail and discovered a place to get my haircut cheaply. It turned out well despite not knowing enough Spanish to explain everything. At a Donitivo in Logroño this evening and they are going to serve us a free dinner.
Hey Char-Bar!! I hope your feet are holding up. Have any moleskin?
