An unbelievably beautiful day, accented by warm sunshine, a gentle breeze, and lots of time on narrow country trails along rivers and through the hills.

After a very cool start to the day, Brenda greets the sun

It seems as though every place we encounter steps they are steep, and each step is a different depth than the one before, and the one after there’s no comfortable way to tread the steps without it being hard on ankles and knees

Today we had Myles of trail that was no more than 20 inches or so wide and quite often fell off on one side to the river hundreds of feet below

as we rounded a corner on one of the wider trails, we found Hector standing in front of a fruit basket and dancing to salsa music! He has traveled all over South America and now in Europe, working Odd jobs and where he can putting a few euros together to buy some fruit and souvenirs that he can sell in the middle of the path wherever he ends up!

Dennis from Germany

We stopped for a quick break on the trail and were soon joined by a gentleman from Germany, Dennis,.

Dennis is quite the hiker and has traveled many of the trails in Europe prior to doing the Camino. He decided to do the Camino with a specific purpose in mind, he wants to go to the USA and do the Pacific Coast Trail! He chose the Camino as a training ground for this epic trip! An epic to train for an epic!

Another great day with great weather, meeting, great people, and hearing stories of the past the present and the future.

Buen Camino
