April 29-El Burgo Ranero Stu writes
The flat horizon to horizon walks will end with tomorrows straightest of them all. Fortunately the scattered rain predicted for today just brushed us. We started to ready our ponchos when it stopped. The day became sunny and clear. We would like to think we could finish up two weeks from today without rain. CA dreamer.

Today we stopped in Sahagun to respond to warnings to carry adequate food and water. Joan ordered a half a kilo of freshly sliced salami then returned to looking around the store. When she saw the pile representing 1.1 lbs she was impressed. We also purchase sheep cheese for enhancement. 4 bottles of water plus food, increases pack weight by 7lbs. We are ready for the longest straight stretch of the camino. It is a 4 foot wide path neighboring a country road for 12 miles . If we get started at 6 as planned,we should be in Mulas by 1030. We are waiting at this sending.

We went from Terradillos de Los Templarios to El Burgos Ranero about 19 miles today. We stopped in Sahagun which is a large town with some beautiful 13 century buildings. We spent some time looking around and shopping for food for the day and tomorrow. You never know if there will be a restaurant or a store. Once again we walked through green fields that you could see for miles in the distance. The weather is still sunny and beautiful. We arrived before 1 to the municipal aubergue. It is a 20 bed small place you give a donation. No set price. Kitchen. But no store so after hot showers we went across the street to eat. Delicious food the first course was a choice between salad green or pasta or canalini beans with clams,which were delicious. Second course was rabbit, pork or salmon or white fish with a lettuce salad on the side. We had both of the fish and a chocolate tart and a cheese tart with raspberry syrup. Bread and wine and water. It was 20 euros. We had to take a walk after we ate so much. We went to the church but like so many we have passed it was closed. It seems the priest only comes for mass 2 days a week. So nature was my church today and I prayed for our friends and family. We stood at the church watching the storks. There were 4 large nests and lots of storks up on the roof. Some pictures will follow
