This is not the Meseta I remember. Last time I walked through the Meseta it was hot; very hot. Today we walked from Castrojeriz and it was cold; very cold. I could have handled the cold but it was also windy and raining. We only walked ten kilometers and decided the we had entered Camino Hell and it was time to stop for the day. The rain turned the mud path into a slip and slide. As I was walking, my feet slid, but I never fell. The wind blew the rain into our face and it stung because the wind was blowing so hard. I would write about the scenery however my face was buried in my pancho.
One of the problems with the Camino through the Meseta is that you cannot walk small distances. You have to commit to at least 10 kilometers before you reach the next town. Tomorrow we have a few smaller distances. Which is good because the weather doesn´t look like it is going to get much better... for the next 5 DAYS! I looked at the forcast through Monday. It looks much like the same. The wether is about 50 degrees before the wind chill which takes the temperature down to about 40 degrees.
¡Buen Camino!
