Day 43. Melide to O Pino

On the road at 6 again this morning. Saw a handful of people about 1.5 hours into our walk but the crowds did not come. Did we walk faster, leave earlier than the others, did they quit or are they tired and wanted to start later. I don’t know but so happy to have more peace in our day. We stopped for a break and Steve had a luscious tomato salad.
We passed many fields of corn and eucalyptus trees. Much of our trail was shaded by the trees. When the sun came out, I was so happy that we were very close to our place for the night. We have been so taken care on the Camino. We are staying in O Pino at a lovely Albergue called Casa de Horreo. Pablo greeted us so warmly and helped us get settled. He helps his parents run the business. He speaks very good English and makes us laugh. Today we walked 15 miles (34655). We have 32 km (19.5 miles) left. We have friends that are finishing today and tomorrow. Hoping to catch up with them in Santiago on Saturday! Today I am thankful for the peace on the trail, grateful for all the people that help us on this journey and grateful for Stephen, he carries the heavier pack and I know his back is tired.Read more
