A dilemma! Which way? When you get to a fork in the road, what do you do?

This morning we had a foggy start. It wasn’t long before our climb changed to sunny skies above the clouds. Most of our uphill walk was once again on wooded trails. We walked up 140 flights of stair equivalents on our 11.75 mile walk today.

Our walk took us through several (stinky) small villages – again, most of the streets are littered with cow and horse manure. I wonder if they get used to the smell!

We have noticed almost every house in these small Galician villages has a small building called a Horreos. These are stone boxes raised on pillars with ventilation holes along both sides. They are used for drying corn in summer and winter storage.

Another observation:
There is a dramatic change in the Camino atmosphere. There are a lot more people, most are not walking with loaded backpacks, just small day packs. There are a lot more buses. People are dropped of at a location and can choose to walk around the area or walk to the next drop off point. There are lots of groups of people, and they are noisy. The quiet, reflective walks may be in our past.
