We trekked 27 km (17 mi) over rolling hills--a great walking day. After 2 1/2 hrs without coffee / breakfast, I couldn't resist the call of a McDonalds. We try to avoid them, but .... There were no accommodations at the Carmelite Cloister, so we ended up at the Taurus Motel--a small little room, but clean and all that we need.
Importantly, I failed to mention before, my 2000-mile walk is taking me from the Polish state of Galicia to the Spanish state of Galicia--what a coincidence!
On the way, a car stopped and a fellow in all black came up to us to wish us "Buen Camino"--he had done the Frances last year and was so overjoyed to meet us. We first thought he was a priest! Today, as usual, we see lots of roadside memorials for someone who lost their life prematurely. We also saw another statue of St. John Paul II.
And also, I noted that all the towns seem to adjoin: the end of one is always the beginning of the next. Probably a good way to set maintenance responsibility! Final pic is of the Pilzno Square: City Hall and Church.
