Day 12 - Porriño to Redondela

Another 10+ mile day with a little hill, beautiful views, and more Camino angels.

Porriño received THREE INCHES of rain last night, so whereas the day before we were trying to beat it, today we left a little later until the storm abated. And we had beautiful, non-poncho-wearing weather all day!

Speaking of articles of clothing we didn't wear, after Laura got to the top of the hill, we noticed she was missing her long sleeve shirt she has worn a lot. Dang! So we decided to keep an eye out for any pilgrims that might have picked it up. Not 30' later we meet Alan and Pierre from Toronto and there is the shirt on Pierre's backpack. Pierre and Alan met in college 40+ years ago ( like Wendy and Laura) and turned out to be second cousins.

Finished the day in a typical midsize Spanish town with dinner and - because we were having withdrawals - gelato. Yum!Leggi altro
