Utega to Lorca 23 K Day Two

The countryside countinues to be absolutely breathtaking. Today we walked through tranquil hill towns, vineyard after vineyard, and fields of wheat and fruit trees. We ate blackberries along the side of the road and enjoyed the 2000 year old Roman road and bridge that we came across. The terrain continues to be very steep and challenging and we did not get as far as we wanted today. Along the Camino there are little prayer altars where pilgrims deposit stones and I stop at each one to gain strength....One foot in front of the other. That works along with the beer and wine! I am enjoying the comraderie of our group as well as the comraderie of the other pilgrims. Each night we partake of a pilgrim meal which is prepared at the Auberge. We all eat at one big table and have so much fun.
