O Porrrino to Redondela Day 6

Today, I was feeling good about myself. It was a good long walk yesterday. Our stay at Casa Lolita, our B & B it was warm in the room. We just had fans. It cooled as the night went. We walked out of O Porrino on our way to Redondela it was to be a ten mile trek. There was a Burger King I wad hoping to stop for breakfast it was closed. I shared alot with Patricia. She's quiet. She doesn't say much. I talked about politics, religion, philosophy, family, and aspirations. During quiet moments, my mind was going everywhere. I was thinking, not much peregrinos were walking especially older ones. Low and behold what looked like an older couple was coming our way opposite direction. They looked older, and it turns the guy was 71 . They were walking to Lisbon coming from Santiago de Compostela, 45 day walk. On top of that, there was a 91 year old lady somewhere in front of us. We never caught up to her. Cool, so I wasn't the old after all. Overall, it was a good day. DOUG
Today was bit of a hike and steep coming down. Tomorrow onto Pontevedra to stay in a old monastery. We are getting closer to Santiago. Doug will check on fires in area. I'm happy another day is completed. We cooked lentils and I'm missing home. People in Spain acknowledge the peregrinos, big difference in my opinion than Portugal. Praying for everyone, and thanks for praying for us too! We're behind in posting updates and pictures, but we hope to get current. - PatriciaRead more
