Hi!

I found my way into Logrono...in the pouring rain.  The refugio is pretty modern and packed with soaked pilgrims!  i am going to take a day off tomorrow.  It was a hard decision to make since I have a long distance to travel with little time.  The left hamstring is starting to give me problems.

The scenery is mostly hilly.  Reminds me of the Lehigh area. The city is the biggest in La Rioja (the region of spain i´m in right now).  the city is interesting -- there is clearly a blue collar crowd, and there is clearly a fashion district, and they are right next to each other.  I´ve never seen anything like it.  Lots of cafes, bars, and restaurants.  I have eaten two menu peregrinos at a nearby restaurant "Kuppa".

Main cathedral in Logrono. Massive stone structure. i actually got inside for part of a mass.

Oh, there is a stork´s nest ontop of the cathedral!  You can hear their beaks clicking together and you can actually see their nests near the main tower.
