The meseta

[dandekay]

Marty,
   I found that it did, indeed, rain on the plain in Spain.  There was also,
in September, plenty of hot, sunny days along the meseta.  The best tool I
had was an umbrella.  It allowed me to continue to hike in my nylon shorts
and polypropelene shirt, not getting sweaty inside rain gear; easy opening
and closing, no fighting my way out of wet rain pants, etc.  The meseta is a
wonderfully huge and sometimes lonely place with skies that go on forever
and clouds that speak volumes in their shapes;  it was one of the best parts
of the Camino.  Enjoy!
      Daniel
