Stranded

Hi there. Jim is on the bed with his feet up, more blisters. The walk today was on an old Roman road through forest. After 2 1/2 hours walking we met two park guards looking for a lost person on a bike. If we should see him we were to call 112.
Anyway we did see few bikers but they didn't look lost.
The weather was great for hiking; a walk of 6 1/2 hours. Just a beautiful day walking through an old growth pine forest.
Lunch in the woods consisted of sardines with a few nuts. I was looking forward to a cold beer but water had to do.
The steep uphill climb of about 650 meters to the Puerto de la Fuenfria (1796 meters), the pass over the mountain was well worth doing.
We found a hotel in Segovia near the cathedral. It is visible from our room. Segovia became an important Roman town in 18 BC.
Tonight we looked at the Roman viaduct, built of 25,000 blocks of granite put together without mortar more than 1000 years ago and still standing.
We had a beer with tapas on the plaza major and watched the Segovia promenade .
With Jim's sore feet we are going to stay another day. Adios.
