Started walking at 7:30 this morning after a restorative night's rest. Went to bed early with tea and melatonin as my sleep aid and fell asleep before 8 and woke up officially at 6:30. Despite the freezing morning, I started my trek at 7:30, 45 minutes before the sunrise. This meant I could watch the full moon set as I walked. It was a gorgeous site as was the fiery sunrise. The eastern horizon was very orange and that backdrop caused any plants between me and my view of the horizon to look black giving me wonderful photos.
Things did finally warm up today and even got hot. I reached Astorga by 12:20 and visited the marvelous cathedral for just 3 euros 50. Needless to say, I used that opportunity to fill my SD card with more pictures. Did 4 more km past Astorga meaning I did close to 20 total, if I remember correctly.
Hey hon! Such beautiful images that you are drawing with your words about the moonset and sunrise........Thanks so much! Maybe we can really do a Europe trip
