We passed Richard (who is blind) and Tom again today. Such inspiring pilgrims!

Melide is a town famous for its octopus. It was a hard pass for me!

I tried octopus in King Cove once, and that was more than enough times for me!

We passed the local farmers market in Melide. Still looking for roasted chestnuts!

Can you imagine when this old cart was last used?

This Romanesque church is from the 11th century, with 14th century frescoes.

Lady of the Snow statue from the 16th C.

Such a welcoming spirit for pilgrims here.

We met Larabee from Morocco today. He taught us a few Arabic phrases we can use in Marrakech. 😀

Beautiful trail and views into Ribadiso today.

Today’s walk was long, but beautiful, 26 km (16 miles). It was about 40° and overcast when we started, but the sun soon burned through the clouds and left us with a beautiful day. Thank goodness, because we had a long walk today. Sixteen miles is the most I’ve walked in a day, and although my heels, ankles, and legs were tired and achy, it really wasn’t harder than any other day. But ask me again in the morning, because I may not be able to get out of bed.😂
We are in a nice Pension tonight, and we had a great dinner across the street. It’s 9 PM and I can barely keep my eyes open so I’m signing off early again. I really can’t believe I will be in Santiago day after tomorrow. I’ve loved this Camino, but I’m ready to finish. I miss Dean and home, and it’s time to wrap this thing up. 😀Læs mere
