Walking Day 10 to Somos y Sarria

Walked 16.7 miles today. First, today we had to choose between a short route or a longer route that passes by El Monasterio de San Julián de Samos. I chose the longer route, and walked start to Sarria with Luis. Luis is an internatioal accountant from Puerto Rico who is the same age as me and walks at the same pace. Interestingly,he lived in Fredonia for awhile several years ago to learn English. Luis is a very kind man who was very outgoing and made sure the other peregrinos were doing OK. He gave some Tylenol and advised an older woman with some serious ankle pain. I didn't eat very much today, and ran out of water. We stopped just before Sarria for water, and Luis bought us gránde beers and tapas. Luis pointed me toward my hotel and we each went our way. I'm pretty sure we'll meet again because our itineraries are similar. For dinner we stopped by a nearby pizzeria. Eduin, an immigrant from the Dominican Republic poured his whole heart into making us feel welcome and treating us like royalty. We had a great time there. He made us an expresso that was so good it was worth keeping me from sleepingBaca lagi
