Walking in the Rain

With a bad weather forecast we got up and on the road by 6:10. We dithered back and forth with rain gear. It would look fine and then there would be a brief shower. The rain cooled things down and by 12:15 we are safely ensconced in the rooms we reserved last night. A little more expensive tonight than a regular Alburgue but being able to check in 45 minutes early makes a difference when you are walking in the rain. 

We are in Santo Domingo del Calzado, named after St Dominic who was born somewhere near here. Apparently he got his start working on the Camino trail to improve it for pilgrims.
