This morning we were greeted with fog - now in the Galicia region with a lot more green plants - more humidity which means our hiking clothes will be filled with perspiration very early in the day. This albergue - A Reboleira - one of the best we stayed at - the evening community dinner made a big difference. Often when we do even simple tasks - it's the simple things that make our experience even better - a simple Our Father - Hail Mary - Glory Be - can make a world of difference.
Our pilgrims from Australia getting their bike ready to leave
Walking in the fog near the road - when our minds are in a fog - time to stop - rest
At this point seeing pilgrims ahead of us had become normal
unlike all the previous days when we were alone
And like that - more
Living on the edge - sitting on the ledge - yes big drop behind us
As we walked up the mountain - we ended up inside the fog
The Camino waymarks getting more frequent - many pilgrims place stones on top as prayers similar to lighting a candle - we left 500 Saint Gianna prayer cards as we walked
A down hill path hiding us from the hot sun
And then we were back in the sun
Shade - but hard to see the rocks and tree stumps in the path
Passing an 800 year old mill house - which path do we follow?
Made it to Triacastela time to look for an albergue
Found it - time for a shower - dry clothes and you know what follows
Vino y Tapas
This was another shorter day - we are not in a rush - we allowed 7 weeks total and at this point we were ahead of the schedule because we jumped a few times mainly because of that blister on my foot that refused to heal. Continuing our Lenten journey we still have about a week before Holy Week - so two weeks before Easter - still lots of time to make this Lent significant.
Buen Camino
