One Year Ago: …And Rest

[thomryng]

(from my journal)

Sarria

27 April

The walls of the Monastery Albergue at Samos

Some highway walking, followed by a beautiful walk in the forests of Galicia. Lots of rain.

Who’s this shady character?

Samos

Wayside Shrine

Francine, having had very little sleep due to a drunken Englishman snoring and occasionally shouting in his sleep, dragged considerably. By the time we got to Sarria, she was done.

We had lunch and bid Eamon adieu as he set out for Portomarin.

Stairs up to the Old Town of Sarria

When we decided we were done for the day after only 11km

Mass in the evening.

Dinner with Mia, who had taken a rest day in Sarria, and the rest of the Irish crew, who had caught up this afternoon.

Internet? Francine perks right up!

Our first taste of pulpo. Yum!

We rented a room at the Café Escalinata at the top of the stairs. Started my third credencial.

Day 26: the photos.
