Day 20 - Carrion de los Condes - 17km

Walked with the Spanish guy (Alex) today. This morning we found a little baby owl who'd either been deserted or had fallen from the nest. We named it Tiago, and decided to take it to the nearest vet. It was really scared and didn't want to eat anything. The vet gave it a routine checkup (free of charge) and fortunately concluded it was perfectly alright. He directed us to the Guardia Civil (a police branch) , who apparently deal with this sort of thing often, and who took the owl off our hands, put it in a special box and headed to an area where they would put it back into the wild.

I'm at an inn run by actual nuns. They asked everyone to hand in some ingredients and we created a buffet for all. At least 15 different nationalities here, which makes for a great group atmosphere. The nuns got out a guitar and started singing songs! And guess what, they own a dishwasher :)

My blisters are healing nicely and they don't hurt anymore. Going great!
