Woohoo!!
We have passed a huge milepost today- we have less than 100km to Santiago!
This morning we had gorgeous views! God had his paintbrush out, and the sun provided us with amazing moments.
As we walked, we were happy to be greeted by Lars, who we met in Villava. He walked with us for most of the morning, and we took our pictures at the 100 km marker.
Entering Portomarin we were able to see the old Roman bridge, and a lot of the remains of the original Roman village. Due to the construction of the dam, the remains can only be seen during the autumn in times of drought.
Tonight a young woman asked if we wanted to share a washing machine load of laundry. After I agreed, she told me she looks for people that she won’t mind that her laundry is co-mingled with. She asked where we started; When I told her St Jean- (where she started) she said it may sound horrible, but I am frustrated with the people that just started today in Sarria, and are complaining about how hard today was! Everyone’s Camino is different…
After dinner we attended the Pilgrims Mass at the Church of St Nicholas.
