4 June Santibanez de Valdeglesia to El Ganso

Santibanez de Valdeglesia 6:15am
My reaction to Nancy suggesting that I start listing the things I am looking for in a wife was to get angry. I wanted to just have a holiday for the rest of the Camino and now I had another task to do. Overnight I began making a list in my head but I haven't written anything down yet.I am ready to pack but last night I put the cram bag for my sleeping bag down somewhere and I can't find it without waking everyone. (once it got light I discovered my back pack on top of it.

Astorga 11am
Very disappointed that the Camino museum is only open 3 days a week and Wednesday isn't one of them. And you can only enter the cathedral through the museum. So instead I'm having hot chocolate and churros .I will then head out of town. I tried to give Angela my ibuprofen this morning but she won't take it even though last night she was complaining of sore ankles. I'm not using it ad I was given more Naprsyn . Knee pain during the night last night but I never remember to take anti-inflamitories at night.

El Ganso 4:45pm
I met Ditlef in Astorga as I left the cafe l wrote the last entry in. He also caught up with me for lunch at Marias Rechivaldo.The food was really good but so was the price and I didn't ask before eating as Spanish food is usually so cheap. Susan is here again and we are likely to stay at the same places as far as Sarria. Nobody would let me carry their packs today.

When I came out of the shower Susan had been to the shop and bought yummy stuff beer and wine. I had a beer and some of the bread and Salami but I said I wasn't having wine. Somehow by bed time that had changed and I had drunk a whole bottle. Still haven't started writing the list of what I am looking for in a partner.
I have just taken off my socks and found two huge blisters where there were small ones this morning. Everyone is making a fuss and can't believe it hardly hurt at all.
249km to Santiago.
