Ahhh, a welcome change of scenery and a beautiful, sunny day to boot.

A fabulous day, and one of our hardest, too!

A tiny walk (5K) this morning to Ponferrada, where we are enjoying a "nearo" (near-zero) day. Ran into Monika as we headed out of Molinaseca and learned more about her fascinating life (she has livedOkumaya devam et

Today's walk (15 miles) took us through Bierzo vineyards and a few small towns. It was another scenic, sunny day--in the 70s when we were walking, but it hi it 90 around 5 pm, so it's good we finishedOkumaya devam et

*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.

A pretty blase day on the Camino! Yes, there were more people on the trail but not an overwhelming amount. Yes, it was beautiful, but nothing we haven't seen many times already. So... not many pics.Okumaya devam et
