Day 16, Castrojeriz

I'm having email trouble today, so it's a short update. Suffice it to say that, other than some shin splint problems this morning, I am perfectly fine.

I was hoping for a farmacia here to get a topical pain killer or muscle relaxant, but nothing is open and tomorrow and Monday (a holiday) are likely to be busts as well. I'll be lucky to find food on Monday, but we'll see. I've stocked up a bit so I'll survive.

I arrived in Castrojeriz at just after noon, hobbling a little from my shin splint. I stopped in the church just before the town and sat for a bit rubbing my shin until it felt well enough for the last 1.5 km into town.

I've showered, washed my clothes from today (they had a great electric spinner to get the water out after hand washing), and hung them to dry in the hot sun. For the last hour or so I've just been resting and stretching.

Now, I'm hungry and feel ready to walk a bit.

The albergue here has a sleeping room with 30 or so beds. Very nice & clean and good bathroom and shower facilities for 5€.

Off to find food. More later.
