Notable memories

The Day's Walk

Being a little more in shape, and having to do less mountaineering, it was possible for me to spend more time enjoying the scenery around me. Today I encountered all types of hiking terrain from paved roads to dirt roads to big stones completely taking up the trail. There was also a lot of huffing and puffing up and down steep hills, but no mountains.

Monastery at Oseira

One of the decisions that I made today, and am grateful for, was to detour about 3.5 miles to visit the monastery. It is a functioning monastery for a silent order of monks. It is also undergoing a major renovation. As I was walking by, a lady yelled to me that they were starting a tour in a few minutes. I elected to spend an hour there and was amazed. A very beautiful place.

Camino Amigos

The Camino provides lots of opportunities to meet interesting people. Today I met up again with a friendly couple from Poland. We spent several days together in the usual chit chat but it is always fun.
