Rabanal

We had insisted last night with our 3 words of Spanish that we wanted breakfast at "siete" or 7am but when we got down a at 7 our hostess was not in a good mood.Nothing to do with us we told ourselves until we saw a sign on the wall we had not noticed before saying breakfast was served between 8 and 10. We felt so bad then and recalled a conversation the previous night when she seemed to be trying to tell as something but we didn't know what. Now we knew. We decided to round up the bill from E53 to E60.When we gave it to her, she said No! No! No!but we were insistent .She went back into her kitchen and brought out 2 large bananas as a gift to us. In turn we gave her a bookmark with a koala on it.By her reaction you would have thought it was a priceless painting as she went over to a wall filled with other gifts and artefacts and tried to find a space for it. Good relations restored. A shortish days walking to Rabanal---17 kms. Anne did her first full day of walking for a while and is on the improve. I struggled--low energy but not connected I think to what appears to be a couple of bites that have caused a bit of swelling on the left side of my face.Just a flesh wound.lots of rest on the agenda---apart from my walking time.
