Today I Passed the fountain that actually has wine and water. There was quite a few pilgrims in line to fill their "water' bottles at 7:30 in the morning, thismade me laugh. I came to a crossroads today where I could travel up a mountain to see a monastery or around the mountain and as I stood there deciding Three older women from a nearby village asked me to come with them so we went around the mountain as they walked with me I understood about one in every 300 words. Essentially it brings them good luck to walk with a pilgram for a while so they took me to their village where they pointed the fountain out so I could refill my water it was actually quite fun. I am now in Lowes Arcos and will go get dinner soon thank you for following me have a great day. I am in Los Arcos...
For most of the day and most days the path is lined with raspberries, blueberries and BlackBerry bushes as well as small-and large gardens. The Stones and gravel are white leaving your shoes covered in a white dust most Albergues do not allow the shoes in the dorms. I have seen many pairs of crocs and some folks attempting to walk the Camino in their crocs due to multiple blisters. Blisters are certainly a plenty here and often times very difficult to see the amount of pain people are in day to day due to blisters. Many of the villages we pass are very sweet lined with flower boxes of reds and oranges as well as often times with the real grapes growing along the windows
