Day 41-Melide

It rained during all but the last hour of our 12+ mile walk. It wasn't bad on the pavement but half the time we were on a dirt trail the turned into a dirt river with thick, mucky mud. I slipped at one point and landed on one knee. No real injury, just a dirty knee and a small cut on my hand.

A highlight of the day was meeting an American couple that moved to Spain five years ago. Kelli blogs about their life in Spain and just published a book that is set on the Camino. I was able to get a signed copy from her and we all had a great chat.

Then we trudged along several more miles in the rain. We didn't take many pictures because it was raining too hard so the ones you see are pretty tame. I'm proud that we toughed it out and walked every step. We saw a huge group of pilgrims waiting for a bus.

We're expecting more of the same tomorrow.Läs mer
