Portomarin to Palas De Rei
25km/15.5miles
Today we woke up and it was 57 degrees! Praise God! We set out for our daily walk, the three of us, Emily, Sarah, and myself. It rained a bit, but mostly drizzle. But it was mostly overcast so I don't have too many pics for you.
I just like the looks of this little tree by the house.
It was a good day. I'm just soaking it all in. The end is getting bitter sweet. Gema and the California sisters invited us to stay at a private pension that's more like a hotel than an albergue since we read in the guidebook that the bathrooms at the albergue were co-Ed and open. The pension cost 15e whereas the albergue was 10e. Well worth it, we figured, to have a private room for three people and a private bath!! So exciting to have a private bath, and a real towel, and sheets!
Then, to top it off, Juan and Ampara, some of our Spanish friends that joined us when we made dinner in Sarria, made dinner for us! Juan had collected mushrooms all day. He tied the ends of his rain pants and filled them up with mushrooms. He and Ampara spent two hours in the kitchen preparing the mushrooms and rice dish for us. We bought the wine and dessert and it was such a great meal. They are so kind and so giving.
Today I am thankful for good food and good friends.
I am learning more than I can put into words right now.
I'm praying for y'all and for your intentions. Can you believe we're only 3 days to Santiago?!
