DAY SEVEN SAMSOL

Day 7 and we are at Albergue Samsol tonight
Just before Torres de Rio.  Shorter day, only 12.15 miles .  Left at 7 am and arrived at 1 pm.  Saw tractors harvesting hay.  Some is rolled, some are rolled and wrapped.  Others are large rectangular bales and stacked about three stories high in the fields until needed or they rot and eventually collapse.  Weather was 12 degrees cooler today and many clouds. Fairly level walking but still a long day.  Never found a toilet except in the fields behind tall plants
...men are fortunate .
One more day of walking together and then we split up.  Jenn will finish nearly a month before me.  Dinner last night was with an Englishman originally from New Zeland.  He is in 40's, walking his 7th Camino.  He is also a special ed teacher.  We shared paella and I mostly listened while Bryce and Jenn shared teaching stories.  Nice evening
  Buen Camino
