May 30th

Carrion de los Condes - Terradillos de los Templarios - 26.8km

Not so much happening today, the meseta makes your brain to get tired.

We are staying in Terradillos de los Templarios tonight, is a very remote town. Maybe there is 5 people living in this town plus the pilgrims. We are staying at Jacques de Molay albergue with Dario. Later at night one of the German friends arrived. He left Emmanuel in Carrion de los condes and walked today about 40 km. He said he need some time alone but he was not able to get his traveler check cash there so he was out of money. We told him that we will help him tonight but the albergue lady told him it was full, no more beds left. Dario went there and spoke to her. She gave him a mattress to sleep in the hallway. I had a big meal for lunch so was not so hungry for dinner but Kevin and Dario had a Pilgrim Menu for dinner. On their table was also a Spanish/Canadian man who said he hated all Americans and started to be very aggressive to Kevin. That's when Dario told him that we are here only for the camino, and it means peace, nobody wants to make an enemy here. I was washing m clothes when this happen. Kenji is here too and the Brazilians are staying at the other albergue.
