We are both on the walk!

Today we left the sleepy village of Eirexe in the fog. We were hoping to have breakfast in the next village about 45 minutes away. But they were also sleepy, aka closed- as was the next village.

We were finally able to warm up with a cup of coffee in Brea after walking for about 2 hours.

Steve was hoping to have Pulpo (octopus) in Palas de Rei- but at 11:30 when we got there the restaurants in the square were not open yet.

Our village last night was not in a ‘popular’ destination. This turned out to be a good thing. We were not part of the ‘wave’ of the Camino, and we were able to enjoy the solitude for almost 3 hours before the crowds started to catch up to us.

We ran into the local farmer herding his cows in the Main Street. The ‘black sheep’ in his herd was a white cow that had a mind of her own. She wanted to go on a different route, and the townspeople had to help get her back on track.

Tonight we are in an Albergue about 1.5 km off the Camino. I think we are their only guests tonight. It is run by a very friendly family. We hope to be out of the ‘wave’ tomorrow as well.

We have less than 65 km to Santiago. Only a few more days of intensive foot care!
