Jacinto saw this one. It was the castle in Olmedo he didn’t see. I didn’t get a photo either, as I didn’t want to get behind and lost!

Hope the knee tape helps... Looks like an air mattress repair! :-) Whatever works is good. Looks are over rated.

Gorse. Gardenias are bigger flowers and do not have pea type flowers.

Internet nature ID can be quite confusing. Sometimes I wonder just how confused I am.

What type of wine are you finding? Dry or sweet?

How interesting, Bill!

Fabulous! How could Jacinto not see this??!!

Hi Kelly - Dodie here- speaking as another woman of a certain age I can confirm that if you are waiting to pee until you find a potty you will be waiting for a very long time. Roadside shrubbery is your best friend, use it. Just look around for oncoming traffic, turn your back away from the road as discretely as possible and don't worry too much, no one else will be all that worried. I carry spare tissues/napkins/wetwipes at all times and a small plastic bag for after and have become very adept at finding small paths off the road with small bushes or trees to tuck in behind.

No, he forgot the Habenero powder this trip. Last night he did buy chips and salsa at the grocery. Neither were up to standards, even mine. The salsa was basically really strong tomatoes and that’s it. I’ve been carrying the food this trip. I’m not sure that glass jar of salsa is worth carrying. But, I would probably eat it once we get there!

Bill,

The entire day, we saw large fragrant bushes with yellow flowers. It was a delightful ride to breath deeply. There were so many bushes that I kept waiting for the perfect photo. Then, as we made the last turn to town, and I thought I really should be taking a photo, "poof" and we didn't see a one. I hope there are more.

I just googled 'wild yellow flower bush Spain fragrant' - it returned with gardenia. Who knew? Hopefully I can find more later.

How great!

What a great day! Sorry you had so much walking.

Great photo!

You’re likely to see bidets in most of your lodging.

Babies!

Wow. Spectacular!
