[QUOTE="Alan Pearce, post: 50122, member: 3126"] Hi Lynne My preliminary schedule has me arriving in Merida on April 11th and spending 2 nights there in order to see some of the city. So we may well meet, which would be great! But as for carrying a bottle of wine from Seville, wellll, hmmm..... In 2008 my companion and I called at the wine making co-operative near Bierzo, where traditionally they give pillgrims a gless of wine. The cellar-door attendant gave us a glass each of rosada, and when Victor picked up a minature earthernware wine jug to ask the price, he insisted on both of us taking one as a gift. I presented him with a lapel badge depicting a kangaroo, and he then insisted on us taking a free unopened bottle of rosada with us. Luckily I didn't have any more to give him, or I may have left the winery bow-legged. As it was, I was so surprised that the weight of a single bottle of wine made quite a difference to the weight of my backpack, and was relieved to take it off when we arrived in Villafranca. Maybe I could post some wine to Ivar and Frank, for us to have when we arrive in Compostela! Or maybe we can stick with the Spanish reds, which I recall with great fondness. I am doing lots of walking in an effort to reduce the amount of lard I have accumulated since my last walk. Just out of town yesterday an echidna ambled across my path. I haven't seen one for probably 20 years, and it's good to know they are still around. They only have one speed - the aforesaid amble - and despite their spines they look kinda cute, and they have a mischiefous look in their eye as if they are up to something. They are certainly less scary than the bears you have over there! buen camino Alan Be brave. Life is joyous. [/QUOTE]
