    Chose to walk to Vila di Conde due to lodging availability and got here in 9 miles. Another coastal walk with Atlantic on our left with lots of boardwalks specifically designed to support this pilgrimage walk. We also saw many pilgrims today. Arlene and Rich headed out an hour earlier than Noelle and me and unfortunately Arlene is still dealing with a nasty cold. I had my first butter layered croissant which was amazing and a ham and cheese sandwich to go. We stopped at a little pirate themed bar and had a drink ocean side and gave our feet a break. These ice plants are plentiful along the boardwalk and just lovely. Once at our apartment, we walked into town and found a scenic vista with beautiful aqueduct. The 4 of us had a Pilgrim meal for 10 euros and it was delicious! Tomorrow we are heading to Apulia about 11 miles and staying in my first albergue. Bed time now 😴Read more
