Last Saturday I walked out to the in-law\u2019s farm. I took a city bus to the outskirts of town, then brace with a fine cup of co!ee I set o! for the farm.

There was dead tree that was about 20 feet in height and all dark and shriveled that made me wish I had brought along a camera. Also, there was a very cool yard that I passed that had some metal-work art in the yard that was nice to stop at a view for a bit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first third was not too bad at all. I celebrated the one-third mark with a five-minute rest in the parking lot of a small road-side restaurant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The second third was bit more e!ort, even so I was glad to get to my planned rest stop to eat some pita, cheese and an apple while letting my feet rest and my shoes and sock air. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The final third started well, but the last four kilometres was sheer bloody unpleasant. But I made it to the farm, no blisters, feeling alright over all with no more than some shaky legs. I was overjoyed. Then I remembered that I\u2019ll need to do this every day in Spain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
