Tortilla, Tortilla, Tortilla!

We started our day today with a walk from El Burgo Ranero to Reliegos, which consisted of a 13km stretch with nothing in it, another one of these days where staring at a neverending field is my main activity. ( see Jess´s Meseta pictures )

But when we did get to Reliegos, we stopped at a little cafe and had some coffee and I decided to have some tortilla for breakfast. For those of you who don´t know, Spanish tortilla is a delicious combination of potatoe, egg, onion and garlic, it resembles a large omelet, and is amazing! When we left Reliegos, we walked 6km to Mansilla de la Mulas, where we stopped for a beer, and more tortilla. Mmmm! The last stretch of our walk today was 5km to Puenta Villarente, where a very nice little hostel awaited us, and they informed us that they were serving tortilla and salad for dinner! So that means that all three meals today for me have been tortilla! Oh darn.......I hate being forced to eat something delicious all day long!

In case you haven´t noticed from the prevalence of food mentioning in our blog, the food here is definitely a major bonus to this trip!

Hasta Luego!

I would have voted for that on your poll had I known what it was.

Oh Becky, you know I've tried it. It was like the best breakfast in the shape of a pie. Jess' stepdad made it ofr us. I could live off of it.

I've been eating expired cans of tuna and slowly chipping away at a large bag of rice. I am beyond jealous. Living on your own is hard, and I miss you and am BEYOND jealous. Keep it up, anytime I think of being lazy I think of you walking a half marathon... everyday... in the sun. *genuine applause* haha you better be taking pictures!!!
