Benedictine monastery-founded in 6th century on asceticism of the Desert Fathers

Not exactly what you want to see after 15 miles but at least our hotel was at the top of the steps!

This 9-year old is starting his Camino with his bestie tomorrow. He's a good boy!

*Cows and sheep and goats gonna scurry....* That is my only complaint today. Mary Beth woke up singing this song and it got stuck in my head all day. Other than that, no complaints.

15 miles of beautiful scenery and sites, including an active Benedictine monastery in Samos that is the oldest (?) monastery in the Western world. (Sadly, we could only see the outside as we didn't have time to wait for the tour).

Old, old villages, shaded paths, more cows--and goats to greet us as we entered Sarria.

It's clear this is the launching point for many. Bigger town and lots of stores and cafes geared toward the newbie pilgrim. We are prepared to welcome them to the Camino (the seasoned pilgrims that we are!) and excited to be in the home stretch now.Okumaya devam et
