Better than ice cream

Today was day 7 and a long hot walk to Logrono. We had decided to only go as far as Viana but we got there at 9.30!!! So after a vote and good breaki/lunch we decided to move on and go to Logrono. Although we got there by 1.30 the albergue was full, and the private one near by. We got a pension in the old city for 15 euro each so all happy campers tonight :-)
Just as we entered Logrono today we passed a long water feature. I can't be sure it was a foot bath:-) but it was inviting. I don't think I ever enjoyed anything so much. Certainly beat the icecream. I think we may have started a trend.
The views today were great, lots of mountains, vineyards and olive groves. The good thing about this time of year is all the fruits are ripe. The figs are especially good. Just as we came through Viana today a lady came out with a bucket of them to give pilgrims as they passed.
We have also met a Canadian film maker a lot over the last few days who is making a documentary. Last night he shared a room with us in Los Arcos and filmed us so we may even make the big screen.
It is hard to believe a week has passed and a lot of miles covered, life is good on the camino. Tough for sure but good.
