After a good 3-hour rest, we had dinner at 8:30 tonight at this gorgeous restaurant at the albergue where we are staying. We had a bottle of wine which cost less than one glass in the states and tasted better than anything ever.
I had an awesome salad and Gretchen a creamy vegetable soup, main course - pork, potatoes and "broken eggs", which were unbelievably comforting and delicious. For dessert, Gretchen had a custard pie (not very pie like, more like a pudding, but super yummy) and me, flan. Yummy again.
We are going to go easy tomorrow so as to not push our envelopes any further. So we will sleep until we wake up, figure out our next destination, have breakfast and move on.
We feel much much better tonight.
p.s. This is not the typical albergue, although, again, it cost only 2 euros more than the more rustic, typical ones.
Your post painted a wonderful picture of how amazing your dinner was. Something I truly wish to experience some day!! So glad you are able to enjoy such an equal balance of struggles and enjoyment!!! So incredible! I told John (when) we get married...we are doing this for our honeymoon. I read your blogs out loud to him, and That Jersey/city boy is really warming up to the idea of doing the Camino which is monumental on its own! You are inspiring the both of us!!!
ReplyDeleteStay strong and keep on Camino-Ing along!!!!
