Today turned out to be a super rainy day. Although it was a shorter hike we slogged through the rain the whole way. Early in the day there was some road construction that had turned the path into a mud soup. The clay was slippery underfoot and stuck to our boots. Once we got out of the mud it began to really pour down rain. Our cheap ponchos were being overwhelmed and we were getting cold when we came upon an oasis of sorts. Half way to our destination there was an amazing couple who were helping pilgrims by providing food, drink, and a warm fire. It felt like heaven so we lingered for quite a while, possibly too long because we had a hard time getting going again. We arrived in Astorgas tired and wet and found a place to stay at San Javier Alberque run by a church. It's warm here and we are happy to be out of the rain. We covered about 12 kilometers today.
