All there really is to say about our three days in Madrid is that we ate, well. And often. In the past two weeks I’d almost forgotten how good Spanish food is, as camino food is primarily functional. But Madrid is not the camino. Though, you can start there and there is a dedicated square in the center of the old city.
We crossed 200km today! This time last week we were just starting out, and although it wasn’t that long ago, it feels like a lifetime. I’ve met so many people, seen so many ailments, seen a few trips end due to them. It’s only a week, but so much has happened. I feel like I’ve known these ladies for a long time. They’ve been such an incredible first Camino family, and although we’re all headed separate ways tomorrow, I’m so glad to have had the time with them that I have.
30km! Well, 29.1, technically, but it’s the longest day thus far, distance wise. It started out slowly, but by the end of the day I caught a bit of an additional wind and, finally, feel like my body is catching up to the demands I’m placing on it.
