Day 12, Tardajos to Castrojeriz, Spain



18 miles, 750 feet of ascent. 7:15 am to 2:30 pm.

Spent the day walking and talking with Peter, who started walking from his home in Nuremburg, Germany on July 2. He has walked across part of Germany, all across Switzerland and France. He is a fast walker and we had lots of fun talking all day.  "Good companions make short miles."  In his late 30's he is a contract employee of a software firm and is between contracts, so he has this time. His wife, Amy, is at home working.

We part at 2 pm, over a beer. Peter is walking six more miles, but I have had enough for today.

Get checked in, wash my clothes, take a siesta and stroll up to the castle ruins on the hill overlooking the town. The restaurant has many old farm implements on display.
