Day 32: Acebo to Ponferrada - 16K

More downward rocky steep mountainous slopes for the first part of today.  I really dislike the descents, but I only have one more big day of them left for the whole Camino. 

The day was hot, and I felt slow and walked mostly by myself, which was in some ways appropriate for day 32 since I did my first Camino at age 32. I didn’t do a good job of feeding myself yesterday, so I was struggling in the morning, but I spent all day catching up on calories:  orange, biscuits, chorizo and cheese bocadillo, cherries, nuts, piles of yogurt, fresh squeezed orange juices, gyoza, sushi, chocolate, tortilla de patatas, bread, pancakes. Fortunately, we’re in a city, so there is a variety of food. 



Looks like rain tomorrow for the first time in weeks. Fortunately we don’t have the climb up or down.  We’ll see how it goes!

  1. Love your feet! Mine acquired 4 blisters this week - on my walk to work. Silly me trying to wear ‘ cute’ shoes.
