6/3 Day 2 The English Way.

Into the forrest
Where trees catch wind and bird songs.
Music to my ears.

Today was less than a 10 mile day. A walk through forrest and dirt paths. It was very similar to how I remember the frances way, especially all the up, up , up we hiked to get to Bruma.😫Besides the challenging climb, we arrived early to this very pretty albergue (Hospital de Bruma). It was too early to be opened yet, so we left our packs at the door, and Othelia (from Korea) and I soaked our feet in the creek filled with poly-wogs.
A perfectly, beautiful day!
Today, we gratefully came upon the only bar after hours of walking. The owner, Carman, served us our coffee and juices. She put a stool under my feet and kept offering us more bisquits. She was being so kind to us. I would say we were getting the ✨️pilgrim treatment✨️. I asked for a picture to remember her by. She finished up behind the bar and jumped in for a group picture of the three of us and wished us a Buen Camino, blessing and all.💖
At our albergue, a small restaurant was packed full of pilgrims. The pilgrim meal for $12. Consists of a Galician soup of potatoes and chard, chicken or pork, pasta or salad with a bottle of wine and a custard for dessert. It was so delicious. I was extra hungry for not having food available the night before.
I end this day in full contentment.Læs mere
