Day 9. Belorado to Villafranca Montes de Oca

Snow, rain, mud, sunshine, then more snow and rain. I almost thought I was in Saskatchewan. The weather constantly changed today. It was difficult dealing with the mud but everything else was fine. We were dressed in rain gear and kept warm. We stopped early today. I hope the weather is better when we are in Burgos. You should check the weather for me for next week. Will it warm up soon?

Spain has Euros (photo 4) and it looks like Canadian money - very colourful!! The difference is all the bills are different sizes! There are several coins including a 1 & 2 euro coin, a 50, 20, 10, 5, & 1 cent coin. Lots of change is always in my pocket - which is heavy.

Math Problem:

Mrs. Town has 5 euros for lunch. Can she buy cafe for 1,50 and a boccadillo for 3,30. Does she have enough money. Can she buy a pastry at 70 cents for dessert??
How much Canadian money did I spend to buy 5 euros? Miss Town can help you find a converter to find the answer to the last question.

Buen Camino

  2. Thanks for keeping us updated on your trip. Too bad you couldn't afford your dessert. Maybe Miss Town will lend you some money.

    1. I think that is a good idea. I did have a good dessert last night that came with my pilgrim meal. I will post a picture on the next entry.
