POTES DAY 155 394 km.

DEPART RAUL'S HOUSE 

Raul rode with me after we went for our usual coffee con leche and toast with olive oil and tomato paste. We visited Elciego and Briones where he went back home and I was on my own again.

It was really a good time riding with him the past week, we saw some amazing places and I met a bunch of good folks along the way which makes the journey so memorable. Was so fortunate to be able to drink wine in three private Bodega's with so much history going back centuries , something a tourist can't do and for them to welcome me and take me down into their cellar and share a bottle of wine and hear all the family history  was quite remarkable.
