Spain smells good

Update on the smells in Spain...
1) there is some sort of flowery smell in the air all the time that is just fabulous, we can´t figure it out
2) walking into the panderias (bread stores) in the morning just as the baker pulls a fresh loaf out of the oven is heaven
3) a pile of 20 pairs of hiking boots having been worn all day long...yum...
4) cafe in all the little places we stop

Last night was great...we ended up getting our own room at the albergue, so we could spread out and didn´t have to deal with the snoring...we slept like babies. Today was our longest day of hiking (about 18 miles) and we are feeling it! But getting stronger every day. Tonight we had an interesting experience...no room at the inn! Both of the albergues in the town were full. Fortunately, the nice french lady running one of them offered us a tent, blow-up mattresses and a spot in front of the old church. If this isn´t an adventure, I don´t know what is. All the pilgrims in town have heard of us and as we were just sitting with some at dinner, they exclaimed ¨oh, you are the tent ones!¨, in spanish though, so we couldn´t understand them. Of course. Hope all is well. More tomorrow if there´s internet! Love you!

Buen Camino.
