Change in weather..

Map of where I am and half way to destination... Poqueira Refugio
There is a big change in the weather today which ought to be a relief. I intend climbing 11 km uphill from pretty and touristy Capileira. It is cloudy and threatens rain. I will start a bit later today and get some provisions for the next 24 hours. Bread cheese and ham and some oranges will do just fine. The best of the local foods! I will get a weather forecast after breakfast. Scrambled eggs with jam... another local treat invariably well seasoned with lots of salt and paprika sprinkled round the edge of the plate. Yummmmy!
I really ache today, mainly my back. It is tempting to sit down and write postcards all day but I do want to see the Sierra Nevada a bit closer and maybe make a little snowman. I am not wearing shorts today for the first day. But it feels warm if a bid humid.
