Day 2

We left the hostel in Hontanas at 7 am. 

About 4 miles in we passed an old convent. 

Mark tried doing a little geocaching. 

But was unsuccessful. 

We passes under the arch of the convent, which was quite pretty. 

The scenery was once again beautiful. Everything is so green!

Onward. 

And upward. 

Maybe 7 miles in we had to tackle a huge hill. You can see the path winding up it behind me. 

The view was pretty spectacular though. 

But it was even better going down the other side. 

As we were walking, this Australian man started chatting with us. 

He was excited that we all had the same brand of backpack. Also, he was shocked that we were american because he thought all Americans were obese. That's mostly what he talked about. 

Eventually we arrived in Iterro de la Vega after about 12 miles of walking. We are looking forward to a good meal and some sleep.
