It´s been several days since my last entery... With the several German companions that I´ve been traveling with... we made our way out of the foothills of the Pyrenes and into the wine region of la Rioja. AMAZING. Hills turned into vineyards as the sun beat down on us. I traded in my shoes for a pair of sandals and mannaged to heel my blisters over the last several days.We also made our way into the local paper as "Spanish Football Fans"
Day 9 Logrono- Najera 30km
Day 10 Najera- Santo Domingo 21km
"Mr Blister"... on a more holy note.. one of my travel buddies has mannaged to clock 7 blisters on one foot at the same time.Day 11 Santo Domingo- Belorado 23 km
Day 12 Belorado - San Juan de Ortega 24 km
Deep fried blood sausage.... mmmmmmmmmm

Here I managed to sneak my way into the last spot in the Albergue... They appear to be getting fuller the closer we get to Santiago... my friend slept on the floor... got to pick up an air mattress
Day 14 Burgos
I took a day of in Burgos to see the city and the amazing cathedral...
Day 15 Burgos- Itero de la Vega 50.5 km
My most walked day do far... alone... I caught up with my travel buddies.... and started to get a nasty blister... After Burgos, the landscape changed again from hills to the flat shade-barren land of the meseta... luckily I had clouds.

The end of this day was brutal. Heat stroke...flu

Nice, you're moving very quickly.
Watch out for the mountains after León. There're a bit tricky. Don't forget to take enough water with you.
I arrived the 2nd of July in Santiago (on a bike) and I'm already back home. It's pretty amazing!
I was nice to have met you in St. Jean-Pied-de-Port.
Bon camino!
Christophe
