DAY FOUR - Santo Domingo to Belorado

Despite a poor night's sleep and a bit if rain it's been a pretty magical day. 

To keep up our spirits as we walked we sang a lot along the way and coming into Belorado substituted the town name for others in various songs. .. Can you get these. ..
You can check out anytime but you can never leave.  Welcome to. ..
Or
....... Why don't you come to your senses,  you've been out riding fences. ..

And as we walked beside the road for a part of the way we waved to lorries that were passing (like kids in the back of a car) eliciting many waves in return and quite a few honked horns. 

Arriving at our favourite albergue from our last visit we settled in and decided to eat in the restaurant here too. As we ordered the song changed to 'conquest of paradise' our camino song from 2010 bringing a tear to my eye.  What better message that I am in the place I should be at this moment.  This was followed by Bette Middler singing the theme from beaches. I crumbled!

We have spent the afternoon playing with the dog (a new,  four month old,  addition since our last visit called Kira), feeding the rabbits and chickens and then snuggled under blankets on the bed. 

This place still holds all the magic it had in 2010. The owners are just as delightful as we remember and the energy is more than special. 

Tomorrow we head for Ages where I expect to find more amazing energy both along the way and in the tiny hamlet itself.
