lorca to torres del rio

thank you top all for your support and comments---it means a lot to know that we are part of a much bigger picture. >Peter Mcg turned up in Lorca where we were staying-- still with spirits high but limping a bit from a strained tendon on his left ankle. jo and I left the next morning in the rain---our first chance to try out our raingear in not heavy but persistent rain---sad to say we were both quite wet within 10 min although we both found a couple of dry patches when the rain stopped after a couple of hours---Jo had a dry patch over her right breast and I had a dry patch over my navel---thank god for small mercies. We are now both praying for fine weather to santiago. Had a choice of going 18 or 30 kms yesterday and sensibly decided to go only 18---to Villamayor de Monjardin-- where we had a group meal at night ---just wonderful and also our best breakfast to date.(apart from the scrambled eggs) Got on well with a Dutch guy on our table Camille and An Irish girl Roisin. Today had a similar choice 19 or 31 KMS and again we only went 19---dont feel like werte ready for more than 25or26 at the moment . Jo and I have been pretty much the only ones on the road for the last 2 days ---have hardly seen another soul. Both enjoying the adventure and meeting people at the algergues. Tonight Camille is going to cook up a tuna pasta for the 3 of us---split the cost of the ingredients
