It took a good two hours to reach Logrono and another hour and a half to reach the other side. Logrono is a fair sized city and many people trekked on yesterday and stayed there rather than stopping in Viana. The way was not so well marked thru the city and I had to ask several times. I found a pharmacy and bought a different knee brace. The one I purchased in Viana was a tube style and kept rolling down.

The walk today was much less hilly than previous days - a welcome relief. It took about 7 hours to walk just under 14 miles today. That's certainly an improvement over yesterday but still pretty slow.

As I walked today I thought about how small modern transportation has made our world feel. I walked +-14 miles and it took all my energy and nearly an entire workday. I could see my destination from where I began, and I could have driven it in a quarter of an hour. The entire Camino (the route I'm traveling known as Camino Frances) is approximately 500 miles and could be driven in a day. Yet, it takes the average person more than a month to walk.

Today is was my fifth day of walking. I'm now halfway thru my solo trek, and I look forward to the next five. Tomorrow I'm on to Najera, and at less than 11 miles, my shortest mileage day!
