ReisenderHi, Grace Glad the weather is better. I remember that old church not being open for us last year…seemed like it had rained or was raining then. It did get a little weird walking after Sarria…not as tranquil, you might say. So, are you going to motor to Santiago after your next day’s walk? I see the doc about my foot tomorrow…likely a couple more weeks of not walking. Buen Camino, Cuz
