Stage 8
Wine Country
🥾 19.12 mi
⬆️ 581m gain
🌤 Sunny. Blue skies. Hot.
Covered in detail in my journal. Highlights:
- discussing with Matt, Lauren, and Jason what we think our friends and coworkers back home might think of this pilgrimage
- so many grape vines with heavy, deep purple bunches of Tempranillo (most likely) grapes as we walked through the Rioja wine country
- eating fresh grapes right off the vine
- eating raisins off the vine and teaching Matt where raisins come from
- eating fresh fig right off the tree
- Matt “preaching”
- swimming in the irrigation channel
- baptisms and prayer circle
- wine in the town square followed by full on outdoor concert and dance party
Another day of spiritual enrichment and carefree fun. Heart full.
