Today, to rest our legs and feet, we walked only about 8 miles, arriving early at Villafranca Montes de Oca. It would have been too far, another 10 miles, to go to the next town in one day. Here we are photoing each other as we cross Rio de Oca.
Our short walking day gave us a chance to explore this little town and pursue one of Anne Marie's favorite activities, taking photos of details in churches. Churches in this part of Spain are packed with statues, paintings and reliefs, often decorated with gold brought over from the New World. Here's Our Lady of Oca, with Baby Jesus playfully reaching out to his mother's breast.
And Our Lady of Sorrows, her heart pierced with swords.
May your days be playful and your sorrows few!
