So, LTfit and I met up in Montserrat last Saturday, and we have been walking the Camino Catalan for the last five days. I had walked 8 or 9 days from the northern coast, and LT had two killer days from Barcelona. And on Saturday night we finally met in person after years together on the forum.
We have not killed each other yet. In fact I would hazard the opinion that we are getting along great. I am so thankful that we're together because to tell you the truth, this is not one of the more spectacular Caminos I have walked. So far the terrain is pleasant, mostly agricultural, lots of fruit and grain fields. And wonderfully, the camino is only very rarely on asphalt. But having company has made it very fun.
We've been able to stay in albergues every night, and the pilgrim infrastructure is very good. We left Catalunya today and are now in a Catalan-speaking part of Aragon.
We have three days to Huesca. We are going to try a long day tomorrow so that we can saunter in on Sunday morning to see the sights. I have my fingers crossed that I will make it, but as Ender tells me it's just a question of being able to "mentalizarme."
We have been told that today we would enter the "pre-Pyrenees." As I told LT, if this is pre-Pyrenees, then Champaign, Illinois is pre-Rockies.
We are in Tamarite de Litera in a free albergue in an old school building. Two pilgrims(us) in one room and a bunch of Spanish archaeologists in the other rooms. Buen Camino, Laurie
