Day Eight: Logroño and a farewell to friends.

Today was the hottest day we have had and that was even with an early start. Six of us began before the sun was even proving much light on the sky, but the air was col and it was easy to walk. We quickly began going through quaint towns like Sonbol and Torres del Rio

where we had a coffee and got supplies for lunch. Much of the rest of the day was walking in farmland.

This is why as the temperature creeps up, the sun can become unbearable. We stopped in Viana for our homemade lunch of a chorizo bocadillo and fruit and cold coke. Maria cookies made a great dessert. 

Soon we were being beaten on again by the sun but able to make it to Logroño. 

Here we get our car and will leave our pilgrim family and move forward to Astorga. Craig, Bowde, Dom and Ben have been great traveling companions. We hate to see our crossed paths end as they continue on and we move to a different part of the Camino.
