- No rain today. Hurray for that! We had great walking weather through many eucalyptus groves where it smelled so good. And!!! We walked 22 km. Hurray for that!
- Old friends. We saw our first day friends from ME and our second day friends from Germany. We talked with professor Liz from Northeastern too.
- Camino-lite?? We saw a sea of pilgrims again today when we came out of a small church in Furelos. They are all young and they carry only daypacks, if that. I saw one woman carrying only a water bottle and one carrying a purse on her shoulder. They are tourists not pilgrims.
- Camino-heavy?? It's a struggle walking with a pack. Carry only what is necessary. This man looks burdened.
5. Restaurant owners were aggressive in the city of Melide. This man called to us to come into his establishment for octopus. He pulled a live one out of a tank.
6. Cows and cats are pretty cute!
Time to head back to our albergue for the night. Another big day tomorrow.
Seeing the gentleman leading his cow got me wondering...
ReplyDeleteDo many Spaniards, especially in rural areas, have one or two cows? Or, are the herds small (10-20 animals) or larger? Clearly you've shown us pictures that run the gamut of very small to medium-sized herds. You've also passed on fields that could support very large herds. Are some of the differences we see based on the region of Spain where you were paling through?
So impressed with you ladies! Emily, I can't wait to talk to you in person when you return. Last 100 km.! Wow!,
