from the elevation, you can see why this was one of our “shorter days we decided that yesterday we would end our hike at las Herrerias So we can start today at the bottom of the hill and make this mountain our challenge for just one day. TNo one we met today. Thought this was a mild, easy, moderate or anything less than challenging hike.
The good news is this hike also offered some beautiful scenery, some great weather and the opportunity to meet some new friends.
The day started with our Most unique breakfast consisting exclusively of crusty bread, avocado, A slice of tomato a little olive oil and some sesame seed. Yes I guess it was just avocado toast, but it was probably the best I’ve ever had.
as we began our hike, we realize that some folks had found what we assumed to be a much easier way to take this trail. They hired a couple of horses and a guide, and if they went on horseback.
As for Brenda and myself, it was another day of steep Hills and rough roads!
Probably the saving grace of the day was the chance meeting of Michael and Angela. A lovely couple from Canada who are hiking and motorcycling around the world.
Starting with a simple conversation, like most Camino conversations, where did you start? What motivated you? Etc. we found that there were many things that we had in common.

Much like us, they support a charitable foundation which they started, and which provides needed items, on a small scale, to orphanages throughout central and South America, primarily but essentially any place that they visit where they see in need.
from hiking to scuba diving to foreign travel and more, we found commonality with this couple, and I committed this day in contact and share and explore future adventures.
Buen camino
Brenda and Ken
