Lugo to O Obrigadoiro

An early start out of Lugo over to ancient Roman bridge other pilgrims are walking the primitivo and it feels like being on the Camino again is great after a day off. It stays dark for well over an hour and it adds to the ambiance.

I'm able to stay on the primitivo for a good hour and that really helps out the navigating. After I get off I get lost into tiny little farm roads that led to incredible looking farms as the sun was rising it really was very cool way to see landscapes that you would never see in any other manner.

I reached lagonda and was able to get on the terrace and start consuming cafes and one croissant. It was a productive time with The Inner Work. Eric and Mike show up and the fun begins. The whole terrace lights up with Eric recognizing the Israeli group and others. And after a few conversations and beers we set off. It's great to meet Mike.

There is mix and match on the trail and a weird guy who hasn't slept in two days. Left arm extended he walks, runs, slows down and makes a bit of a scene. I'm not sure what is up with him.

We reach Palas del Rei and settle into a fantastic restaurant for an incredible meal. Best one on the Camino. Another few km and e reach one of the jewels of albergues on the Camino. Fantastic everything. Eric is in heaven.

A great new Camino day as I am in my wrap up stage and reconnecting with the Eric's energy on the Frances.Read more
