Day 38 Molinaseca to Ponferrada

 I woke up this morning with stiff muscles, sore joints and a toe needing flip flops.
After the 20km's of mountains yesterday, I decided to take it easy. I was overdue for a short walk again. 
I used the road out of Molinaseca instead of the path to help the toe a bit. The big problem when you walk in a different way other muscles take strain.  I have taken the sign to slow down a bit.
I met a group of Italians along the way, lovely connecting with them for a few km's. It helps if you love Italy as much as I do.
I walked into the beautiful town of Ponferrada and checked in at La Encina for the night. I walked around in the town a little and simply chilled out.  It was cold with the odd shower.
I sat in the bar in the early evening for a drink and tapas. I chatted to some local Spanish people. In the bigger cities they can speak English. It's really incredible what I am learning from other cultures.
I walked around the corner to an Italian restaurant as I needed pizza. A French lady and her mother invited me to join them, we had a lovely dinner together. 
It's been a day of blessings again, I just seem to attract the right people at the right time.
I wonder what tomorrow will bring.
