Today was 17 miles walked, bringing the total to 449 miles overall.

So let’s start this discussion with fuel. A peregrino needs fuel to walk 15, 18, or 20 miles a day. This place we’re staying at does a wonderful job of cooking. Here is a photo of Diane’s first course, a salad.

What followed thereafter was just one great course after another. Properly satiated, we went to bed to gather a few hours of sleep before starting today’s walk.

Now, after about 30 days of walking, Bill no longer feels fresh as a daisy. As a matter of fact, he feels a little sluggish. Here is a selfie Bill took of himself trying to keep up with Diane. Off in the distance, you can see Diane.

We can tell that we are getting closer to the Camino Frances. We passed a sign which indicated that we were only about 10 miles away from one of the towns on the Camino Frances, Melide.  For those non metric speaking people, 16 kilometers in 10 miles. It is remarkable to be that close. Although, of course, tomorrow we will be walking 13 miles and we’ll finally intersect the Camino Frances in Arzua.

The countryside around here continues to be beautiful, with views of 40 and 50 miles possible in some directions. We also are starting to see some different geology, is this photo shows quite a bit of granite in the Hills. Well, maybe not. There really was quite a bit of granite but the photo may not show that.

Well, we must do our chores as tomorrow night will be meeting Willow and it may be more challenging to get our chores done in a timely fashion. A small cost to reunite with Willow!

Enough for now, Bill and Diane.
