My foort turned into a cantelope and a word on the surroundings.

Well after my record setting day I realized that my foot was growing steadily. It did not necessarily hurt it was just pushed to the max and started to let me know. On this walk your body is constantly speaking to you in various was most of the time through pain. You have to listen and not push it too much as we all want to make it to Santiago. So as most people on this walk have already gone through these problems I was helped extensively by a good friend. She know how to do everything and even had some herbs that she had picked along the way that are good against inflammation. My foot began to go down and I had some ibuprofen and hit the sack. Today is was a lot better and I could walk on it just fine. I only walked 16 kilometers today as I wanted to give my body a bit of a rest before climbing the mountains tomorrow. We will be going up to 1400meters. Pretty high and there is snow on them there hills.
So as far as the landscape its been pretty repetitive. The area between Burgos and Leon (what I have just walked) is mainly maseta which is long fields of corn, and because it is the beginning of the planting season it was mostly young corn or dry dirt. This was a bit anticlimactic as I was thinking about frolicking through the woods. But each landscape teaches you something different. As I am a very impatient person the Maseta fields where my teacher in patience and peace of mind. There were occasional rivers and tree´s but not that many. The sky has been the most interesting and beautiful part of the scape´s. The clouds have been every shape you can imagine and have given a lot of depth to the walking. I am excited about the mountains and Galecia which is the next state over. Galecia is supposed to be the most beautiful part of the walk and its the last part which is great. Today I am in Astorga the littlest big town on the camino with a beautiful Cathedral that was designed by Gaudi. I am staying a block from it as the Albergue is always close to the churches. We always have epic locations because of the respect of the Camion to the spanish people. Well as the landscape changes more I will keep you informed. Peace love Roberto
