Luarca, June 23

 The walk today was surprisingly pleasant.  About 1/2 was off the road!  What a difference that makes!  Also, have I mentioned that I have been very lucky with the weather?  It has been in the 50´s (early morning) and 60´s and grey.  Good walking weather.  Watch!  It won´t last!

I was happy that I had brought a hunk of onion and a tomato, and had snuck a jar of mayonnaise into my suitcase and figured out how to transport a few nectarines, oh and the bag of lettuce, because when nothing is open on Sunday, nothing is open!  Tchatchke stores and restaurants are, as are some bakeries and candy shops, but no groceries were to be had.  AND it is not only Sunday you have to prepare for, but Monday-until-arrival-at-destination.  Outside of major cities, Sundays are always challenge.

Doesn´t this look like a challah (except for where I tore out a piece)?

It did not taste like much, alas, even after being all dolled up with butter and raisins!
