Santo Domingo

I made it safely into Santo Domingo de la Calzada today.  Early this morning I walked through Viloria de la Rioja, which proudly proclaims itself the birth place of Santo Domingo.  He was turned down by the monastery in San Millan (which I hope to go by tomorrow) because he was illiterate.   He turned his life then to helping care for pilgrims.  He built hospitals, roads and bridges to make the pilgrimage to Santiago safer.  He died here in the town that now bears his name.
