Torres del Rió day 9

Walking. This is what you do on the Camino. Walk. That is what we did today, for about 20km. The walk, while beautiful, was uneventful. Just 20km under the sun. 
We came across a “bar” I remembered in the middle of nowhere. Really just a food trailer with some seating in the shade. It was a welcome respite and a chance to get a snack to sustain us. We saw the owner come out of the trailer and give the bums rush to a couple of pilgrims who tried to sit at his tables and eat food they brought with them. He was having none of it.  While there Carly, from Ohio, walked up. We met Carly in Bayonne when we rode the bus up to St. Jean Pied de Port. We had a nice visit as we walked together until Los Arcos.

When we finally arrived in Torres del Rió we checked into a private room at a Casa Rural with a restaurant and pool. Andie took advantage of the pool and we later had a great meal from the pilgrims menu.
